They dreamed of having more fun. + +They smiled in their sleep. They were happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play all day. She had many toys and books and games, but she never wanted to stop and rest. She always said, "I am not tired, I want to play more!" + +One day, her mom took her to the park. Lily ran and jumped and swung and slid. She had fun with the other kids and the animals. She saw a big dog, a small cat, a red bird and a green frog. She wanted to pet them all, but her mom said, "Be careful, Lily, some animals may not like that." + +Lily did not listen. She ran after the cat, but the cat scratched her. She ran after the bird, but the bird pecked her. She ran after the frog, but the frog hopped away. She ran after the dog, but the dog barked at her. Lily was sad and scared. She ran back to her mom and cried. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but you have to be gentle and respectful with the animals. They have feelings too, and they may not want to play with you. You have to ask them first, and if they say no, you have to leave them alone." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom, I was wrong. I will be nice to the animals next time." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily, I'm proud of you. Now, let's go home and have some lunch. You must be hungry and thirsty after playing so much." + +Lily agreed and followed her mom. She was hungry and thirsty, but she was also very tired. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She said, "Mom, I think I need a nap. I played too much today." + +Her mom said, "That's a good idea, Lily. A nap will make you feel better and give you more energy for tomorrow. You know, tomorrow is a special day. Do you know why?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "Is it your birthday, mom?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "No, Lily, it's not my birthday. It's the last day of the year. Do you know what that means?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, mom, what does that mean?" + +Her mom said, "It means that a new year will start soon. A new year is like a new chance to learn and grow and have fun. But it also means that we have to say goodbye to the old year. We have to be thankful for all the good things that happened, and forget about the bad things. We have to make new wishes and new plans and new friends. We have to be happy and hopeful and kind." + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds nice, mom. I like new things. Can we have a party for the new year?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily, we can have a party. We can have cake and balloons and music and games. We can invite your grandma and grandpa and your cousins and your friends. We can have a lot of fun." + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yay, mom, I can't wait for the new year. But first, I need a nap. Can you read me a story?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily, I can read you a story. What story do you want to hear?" + +Lily said, "I want to hear the story of the thirsty camel." + +Her mom said, "The thirsty camel? Why do you want to hear that story?" + +Lily said, "Because it's about a camel who lives in a dry place, and he has to find water. He learns to be patient and smart and brave. He also learns to share and help others. I like that story. It has a good lesson." + +Her mom said, "You're right, Lily, it does have a good lesson. And it's a good story for a hot day like today. Come on, let's go to your room and read it. Maybe it will make you sleepy too." + +Lily and her mom went to her room. Her mom read her the story of the thirsty camel. Lily listened and imagined the camel's adventure. She felt sorry for the camel, but she also admired him. She hoped he would find water and be happy. She also hoped she would have a happy new year. She yawned again and closed her eyes. She fell asleep in her mom's arms. Her mom kissed her and whispered, "Sweet dreams, Lily. I love you." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a purple dress and purple shoes. Lily liked purple. She wanted to match Anna. + +One day, Lily saw a purple hat in her mom's closet. It was big and soft and had a flower on it. Lily thought it was pretty. She wanted to wear it and match Anna. She took the hat and put it on her head. She looked in the mirror and smiled. + +She ran to her room with the hat and Anna. She wanted to show them to her friend Mia, who was coming to play. She put Anna on her bed and the hat on her pillow. She was happy. + +But she did not know that the hat was fragile. It was her mom's special hat. Her mom got it from her grandma, who was very old and sick. Her mom loved the hat and took good care of it. She did not want anyone to touch it or break it. + +When Mia came, she saw the hat and Anna on the bed. She liked the hat too. She wanted to try it on. She did not know it was fragile. She picked up the hat and put it on her head. But the hat was too big for her. It slipped off and fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. + +Lily and Mia heard the noise and ran to the bed. They saw the hat on the floor. It was broken. The flower was torn and the hat was ripped. They were scared. + +Lily's mom heard the noise too. She came to the room and saw the hat on the floor. She was angry and sad. She asked Lily and Mia what happened. They told her the truth. They said they were sorry. + +Lily's mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was not mad. She knew they did not mean to break the hat. She knew they were just playing. She hugged them and said it was okay. She said she still had the hat in her heart, where her grandma was too. + +She told them to be careful with fragile things. She told them to ask before they take something that is not theirs. She told them to match with kindness, not with clothes. + +Lily and Mia nodded. They learned their lesson. They said they were sorry again. They helped Lily's mom fix the hat as best as they could. They played with Anna and other dolls. They matched with smiles, not with purple. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to sleep in a big bed with their mom and dad. One morning, they wake up early. They hear a noise outside the window. + +"Mom, dad, what is that?" Tom asks. + +"Shh, let's look," dad says. He lifts the curtain and points. "Do you see them?" + +Tom and Lily see four deer in the garden. They have brown fur and long legs. Two deer have high horns on their heads. They are eating grass and flowers. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Lily says. + +"Yes, they are. They are wild animals. They live in the woods. Sometimes they come here to find food," mom says. + +"Can we go and play with them?" Tom asks. + +"No, we can't. They are shy and scared of people. We have to be quiet and watch them from here. If we go outside, they will run away," dad says. + +"OK, we will be quiet," Tom and Lily say. They sit on the bed and watch the deer. They feel happy and curious. They wonder what the deer do in the woods. They hope to see them again. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big green thing on the ground. It looked like a ball, but it was not round. + +"What is this?" Sara asked. + +Tom picked it up and felt it. It was soft and bumpy. + +"I think it is an avocado," he said. "My mom sometimes puts it on bread." + +"Can we eat it?" Sara wondered. + +Tom shrugged. He did not know. He tried to open it, but it was too hard. + +"Maybe we need a knife," he said. + +They ran to the kitchen and looked for a knife. They found one on the table. It was shiny and sharp. + +"Be careful," Sara said. "That knife is ancient. It was my grandpa's. He used it to cut meat." + +Tom nodded. He took the knife and went back to the garden. He cut the avocado in half. Inside, it was green and yellow. + +"Wow, it looks nice," Sara said. + +They each took a half and tasted it. It was creamy and buttery. + +"Mmm, it is good," Tom said. + +Sara agreed. She liked it too. + +They ate the avocado and threw the skin and the seed away. Then they lay down on the grass and looked at the sky. They saw clouds and birds and planes. + +They felt happy and full. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. +Lily was a girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a modern doll. The doll had long hair, a pretty dress, and shoes that lit up. Lily loved to brush the doll's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her doll, but her mom said no. She said the doll was too big and might get lost. Lily was sad, but she put her doll on her bed and kissed her goodbye. + +At the store, Lily saw a lot of things. She saw fruits, vegetables, candy, and books. She also saw a boy who had a toy car. The car was shiny, red, and made noises. Lily thought the car was cool, and she wanted to touch it. + +She walked over to the boy and said, "Hi, can I see your car?" + +The boy looked at Lily and shook his head. He said, "No, this is my car. Go away." + +Lily felt angry. She said, "But I just want to see it. Please?" + +The boy said, "No, I said go away. This is mine." + +Then he pushed Lily away and made her fall. Lily hurt her knee and started to cry. She also started to scream. She screamed very loud and very long. + +Her mom heard her scream and ran over to her. She saw Lily on the floor and the boy with the car. She said, "What happened? Are you okay, Lily?" + +Lily said, "He pushed me. He was mean. He didn't let me see his car." + +Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was not nice of him. Let me see your knee. Does it hurt?" + +Lily said, "Yes, it hurts. I want my doll. I want to go home." + +Her mom said, "Okay, okay. We'll go home soon. Here, have a hug. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged her mom and felt a little better. She said, "I love you too, mom. Can we get some candy?" + +Her mom said, "Maybe. If you stop screaming." +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. But then the sky became gray and the air became cold. A thick fog came and covered everything. Tom and Mia could not see the ball or the trees or the swings. They could only see each other. + +"Where is our ball?" Mia asked. She was scared and sad. She liked the ball very much. + +"I don't know," Tom said. He was scared and sad too. He wanted to go home. "Maybe it is over there." He pointed to a dark shape in the fog. + +They walked towards the shape, holding hands. But when they came closer, they saw that it was not the ball. It was a big dog. A wild dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It growled and barked at them. + +Tom and Mia were very afraid. They did not want the dog to bite them. They did not want to suffer. They turned around and ran away. They shouted for help. + +"Mommy! Daddy! Help us!" they cried. + +Their parents heard them and came running. They saw the dog and the fog and their children. They picked them up and hugged them. They scared the dog away with a stick. They took them to the car and drove them home. + +Tom and Mia were safe and happy. They thanked their parents and said sorry for losing the ball. Their parents said it was okay and that they loved them. They gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They told them stories and sang them songs. They made them forget the fog and the wild dog. They made them feel better. +Ben and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a small plant that they water every day. They want the plant to grow big and strong. + +One day, it is very hot outside. The sun is bright and the air is dry. Ben and Mia are thirsty and tired. They go inside to get some juice and a snack. + +They forget about the plant. They do not water it. They do not move it to the shade. They leave it in the sun. + +The plant is thirsty and sad. It feels the sun burn its leaves. It tries to stay alive, but it is too hard. The plant starts to wilt and brown. + +Ben and Mia come back to the garden. They see the plant. They are shocked and sad. + +"Oh no, our plant!" Ben cries. + +"What happened to it?" Mia asks. + +"It is too hot. We did not water it. We did not increase the shade. We were bad to the plant." Ben says. + +"Can we save it?" Mia says. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is too late. Maybe the plant is gone." Ben says. + +They hug each other and cry. They wish they had taken better care of the plant. They learn a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside in the big yard. One night, they saw many stars in the sky. They were bright and shiny. + +"Look, Tom, a star!" Lily said, pointing up. + +"I see it, Lily. It is so pretty!" Tom said. + +"Do you think we can climb to the star?" Lily asked. + +Tom thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe we can. We need a ladder." + +They looked around and saw a ladder leaning on the wall. It was tall and wooden. They ran to the ladder and grabbed it. + +"Let's go, Lily. We can climb to the star!" Tom said. + +They carried the ladder to the middle of the yard. They put it on the ground and stood on it. They climbed up, one step at a time. They were careful and brave. + +They reached the top of the ladder. They looked at the star. It was still far away. They stretched their arms and tried to touch it. But they could not. + +The star was too high. They felt sad. + +They heard a voice. It was Mom. + +"Lily, Tom, what are you doing?" Mom asked. + +They looked down and saw Mom. She was smiling. + +"We wanted to climb to the star, Mom," Lily said. + +"We tried, but we could not," Tom said. + +Mom laughed. She said, "You are very sweet, Lily and Tom. But you cannot climb to the star. It is too far. And it is not safe to climb on the ladder at night. Come down, please." + +Lily and Tom climbed down the ladder. They hugged Mom. + +"Sorry, Mom. We were curious," Lily said. + +"It's okay, Lily. I understand. But you have to be careful. And it is time for bed. Come on, let's go inside," Mom said. + +She took the ladder and put it back on the wall. She held Lily and Tom's hands and walked to the house. + +They said good night to the star. It twinkled at them. + +They went inside. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds. Mom kissed them and tucked them in. + +"Good night, Lily. Good night, Tom. I love you," Mom said. + +"Good night, Mom. We love you too," Lily and Tom said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of the star. It was quiet and peaceful. +Lily likes to draw with her crayons. She draws flowers, stars, and animals on her paper. Sometimes she makes a mistake and wants to change her drawing. She uses her eraser to rub out the mistake. Her eraser is pink and soft. + +One day, Lily draws a big sun on her paper. She wants to make it yellow, but she picks up the orange crayon by mistake. She colors the sun with the orange crayon. She looks at her drawing and feels sad. She does not like the orange sun. She wants to erase it and make it yellow. + +She takes her eraser and tries to rub out the orange sun. But the eraser does not work well. The orange color stays on the paper. Lily rubs harder and harder, but the sun does not change. She thinks the eraser is broken. She feels angry and frustrated. She throws the eraser on the floor. + +Her mom sees her and comes to help her. She picks up the eraser and looks at it. She sees that the eraser is dirty and full of orange crayon. She says, "Lily, your eraser is not broken. It is just dirty. You need to clean it before you use it again. Look, there is a clean side here. You can use this side to erase the orange sun." + +She shows Lily how to use the clean side of the eraser. She helps Lily to rub out the orange sun. The sun becomes white again. Lily feels happy and says, "Thank you, mom. You are so smart. Can I have the yellow crayon, please?" + +Her mom gives her the yellow crayon and says, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very good at drawing. But remember, sometimes drawing is difficult. You need to be careful and patient. And if you make a mistake, you can always raise your hand and ask for help." + +Lily nods and smiles. She takes the yellow crayon and colors the sun. She makes it bright and shiny. She is proud of her drawing. She raises her hand and says, "Mom, look at my sun. Do you like it?" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I love it, Lily. It is beautiful. You are a great artist." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +"Look, I found a shiny stone!" Lily said, holding up a pebble. "Maybe it is a treasure." + +"Wow, that is pretty!" Tom said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily gave him the stone and he rubbed it with his fingers. He saw some sparkles on it. + +"Maybe it is from space," he said. "Maybe it fell from the sky." + +Lily looked up at the blue sky. She wondered if there were more stones like that up there. + +"Where is space?" she asked Tom. + +Tom shrugged. He did not know. + +"Space is very far away," he said. "It is where the stars and the moon are. And the earth." + +"What is the earth?" Lily asked. + +Tom thought for a moment. He tried to remember what his mom had told him. + +"The earth is where we live," he said. "It is a big ball of dirt and water and plants and animals. And people." + +Lily nodded. She liked the earth. It had many things to see and do. + +"Can we go to space?" she asked. + +Tom shook his head. He did not think so. + +"Space is too high and too cold," he said. "We need a rocket to go there. And a suit. And a helmet." + +Lily frowned. She did not have a rocket or a suit or a helmet. She did not like the cold. + +"Maybe we can stay on the earth," she said. "The earth is nice." + +Tom smiled. He agreed. + +"Yes, the earth is nice," he said. "And we have each other." + +They hugged and put the stone in their bucket. They were happy and tired. They decided to go inside and have a snack. They left their bucket in the garden. They did not know that the stone was really a meteorite. A very small and very old piece of space. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a graceful deer and Max was a fierce lion. They ran and jumped and chased each other. + +"Roar!" Max said. "I am the king of the jungle. I will catch you, deer!" + +"No, you won't!" Lily said. "I am too fast and smart. You can't catch me, lion!" + +They laughed and had fun. But then Lily saw something that made her stop. She saw a big hole in Max's pants. She could see his underwear. + +"Max, Max!" Lily said. "Look at your pants! You have a hole!" + +Max looked down and saw the hole. He felt embarrassed. He didn't want Lily to see his underwear. He didn't want anyone to see his underwear. + +"Oh no!" Max said. "How did this happen? I didn't know I had a hole!" + +Lily felt sorry for Max. She didn't want him to be sad. She had an idea. + +"Max, don't worry," Lily said. "I have a secret. Do you want to hear it?" + +Max nodded. He wanted to hear Lily's secret. + +Lily whispered in Max's ear. "You know what? I believe that your hole is not a hole. I believe that your hole is a magic window. A magic window that lets you see the world in a different way. A magic window that makes you brave and strong and happy." + +Max looked at Lily. He saw her smile. He saw her eyes sparkle. He wondered if she was telling the truth. + +"Really?" Max said. "A magic window?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, really. A magic window. You just have to believe it. Do you believe it, Max?" + +Max thought for a moment. He looked at his hole. He looked at Lily. He decided to believe it. + +"Yes, I believe it, Lily," Max said. "I believe it is a magic window. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Lily hugged Max. "You are welcome, Max. You are a good friend too. Now, let's play some more. Come on, lion. Follow me, deer." + +They ran and jumped and chased each other again. They didn't care about the hole. They only cared about the magic. They only cared about the fun. They only cared about each other. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. One day, they pretend to have a restaurant. Tom is the cook and Lily is the waitress. + +"Hello, what do you want to eat?" Lily asks Mom and Dad, who sit at the table. + +"I want a yellow banana," Mom says. + +"I want a yellow cheese sandwich," Dad says. + +Lily writes down their orders and gives them to Tom. Tom looks at the paper and frowns. + +"I don't know how to make a cheese sandwich," he says. + +Lily smiles and says, "I can teach you. It is easy. You need bread, cheese, and butter. First, you put butter on the bread. Then, you put cheese on one slice of bread. Next, you put another slice of bread on top of the cheese. Last, you cut the sandwich in half. See? You made a cheese sandwich!" + +Tom follows Lily's instructions and makes a cheese sandwich. He also peels a banana and puts it on a plate. He gives the food to Lily, who brings it to Mom and Dad. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily. This looks delicious," Mom says. + +"Yes, thank you. You are very good at running a restaurant," Dad says. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They hug each other and say, "We are a good team. We can help each other and learn new things." + +The moral of the story is: You can teach and learn from your siblings and friends. Working together is fun and rewarding. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a colorful doll with long hair and a dress. Ben has a big truck with wheels and a horn. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around. + +"Look at my doll, Ben. She is so pretty and colorful. Do you want to play with her?" Sara offers. + +"No, thank you, Sara. I like my truck better. It is so fast and loud. Do you want to play with it?" Ben offers. + +"No, thank you, Ben. I like my doll better. She is so soft and nice. I can brush her hair and change her dress." Sara says. + +They keep playing with their own toys, but they are not very happy. They want to share and play together, but they don't know how. + +Suddenly, they hear a growl from the kitchen. It is their dog, Max. He is hungry and wants some food. He comes to the living room and sniffs around. He sees Sara's doll and Ben's truck. He thinks they are food. He grabs the doll with his mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, that's my doll! Give it back, Max!" Sara cries. + +"Bad dog! Leave the doll alone!" Ben shouts. + +They chase after Max, but he is too fast. He runs to his bed and starts to chew on the doll. He rips off her hair and her dress. He makes a big mess. + +"Stop, Max! You are ruining my doll!" Sara says. + +"Max, you are naughty! You can't eat toys!" Ben says. + +They try to take the doll away from Max, but he growls and bites. He is not listening. He is not nice. + +Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They look at each other. They have an idea. + +"Maybe we can trade, Sara. I can give you my truck and you can give me your doll. Then we can play together and make Max happy." Ben offers. + +"That's a good idea, Ben. I can give you my doll and you can give me your truck. Then we can share and play together and make Max happy." Sara offers. + +They swap their toys and go to Max. They show him their new toys and pet him. They say sorry and give him a hug. They offer him a treat from the kitchen. + +Max is happy. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He likes their new toys. He likes their treat. He likes them. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They smile and laugh. They play with their new toys and with Max. They like their new toys. They like Max. They like each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play football in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. The box is brown and has a lock. It looks mysterious. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure. Or a toy. Or a cake," Sam says. + +They want to open the box. But they need a key. They look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a key in his hand. He is reading a book. + +"Excuse me, sir. Is this your box?" Tom asks. + +The man looks up. He smiles. He says, "No, it is not my box. I found the key on the ground. I was curious about the box. But I could not open it. The key does not fit." + +"Can we try the key?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, go ahead. Maybe you are lucky," the man says. + +He gives them the key. They run to the box. They try the key. It does not work. They are sad. + +"Maybe the key is for another box. Maybe there are more boxes in the park. Maybe we can find them," Tom says. + +They thank the man. They take the key. They leave the box. They look for more boxes. They have a new game. They call it the mysterious box game. They forget about the football. They have fun. +Tom was a big boy who liked to play with his cars and trucks. He had many toys, but he wanted more. One day, he saw a new car in the store. It was shiny and red and had a loud horn. Tom wanted the car very much, but he had no money. + +He saw a lady who was busy looking at other things. She had a big bag with many things inside. Tom had an urge to take the car and put it in his pocket. He thought no one would see him. He was scared, but he was also greedy. He reached for the car and grabbed it. + +But then he heard a voice. It was his friend Lily. She was holding an invitation in her hand. She said, "Tom, I have something for you. It is my birthday party. Do you want to come?" Tom was surprised and happy. He liked Lily and he liked parties. He wanted to say yes. + +But he felt guilty. He knew he had done something bad. He looked at the car in his hand and he felt ashamed. He did not want to lie to Lily or to the lady. He did not want to keep the car. He wanted to be a good boy. + +He put the car back on the shelf and said sorry to the lady. He hoped she would forgive him. He took the invitation from Lily and said thank you. He smiled and hugged her. He said, "Yes, I want to come to your party. You are my friend." Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said, "You are my friend too. I am happy you can come." Tom felt relieved and glad. He learned a lesson. He decided to be happy with what he had and to share with others. He thought, "The car is nice, but the party is better." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big orange ball in the park. They both wanted to play with it, but they did not want to share. + +"Give me the ball, it is mine!" Tom said. + +"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" Lily said. + +They started to pull the ball from each other, and they began to shout and cry. A lady who was walking her dog saw them and came over. + +"Hello, children, why are you fighting?" she asked. + +They both told her that they wanted the ball, and that the other one was being mean. + +The lady tried to explain to them that they could take turns with the ball, or play together, or find another toy. She said that fighting was not nice, and that they should make peace. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen to her. They kept on pulling the ball, and they did not say sorry. The lady shook her head and walked away. + +Then, something bad happened. The ball popped. It made a loud noise, and the air came out. The ball was broken, and it was not orange anymore. It was flat and gray. + +Tom and Lily looked at the ball, and then at each other. They felt sad and angry. They had no ball, and they had no fun. They had no peace, and they had no friend. They wished they had listened to the lady, and shared the ball. But it was too late. The end. +Lily and her mom went to a big hotel for a holiday. Lily was very happy. She liked the hotel. It had a big pool, a nice garden, and a lot of toys. Lily and her mom had a light room with a big bed and a window. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the hotel lobby. There was a big tree with lights and balls. Lily saw a lot of boxes under the tree. She asked her mom, "What are those?" + +Her mom said, "Those are presents. The hotel gives them to the guests for Christmas. Maybe you will receive one too." + +Lily was very excited. She wanted a present. She looked at the boxes and wondered what was inside. She saw one box with her name on it. It was red and shiny. She asked her mom, "Can I open it?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, we have to say thank you to the hotel staff. They are very kind and generous." + +Lily and her mom went to the hotel desk. They saw a man with a smile. He was wearing a red hat and a white beard. He said, "Hello, Lily. I'm Santa Claus. I work at the hotel. I heard you have been a good girl this year. I have a present for you." + +Lily was very surprised. She said, "Thank you, Santa Claus. You are very nice. Can I hug you?" + +Santa Claus said, "Of course, you can. I love hugs. Merry Christmas, Lily." + +Lily hugged Santa Claus. Then she took her present and opened it. Inside, there was a doll with a pink dress and a yellow bow. Lily loved it. She said, "Wow, this is the best present ever. Thank you, Santa Claus. Thank you, hotel. I'm very happy." + +Lily and her mom smiled. They wished everyone a merry Christmas. They went back to their room. Lily played with her doll. She had a wonderful holiday. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would quarrel over their toys. One day, they found a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there were two suits. One was red and one was blue. They both wanted the red suit, because it looked powerful. + +"I want the red suit!" Tom said. + +"No, I want the red suit!" Lily said. + +They pulled and tugged at the suit, but neither of them would let go. They started to shout and cry. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She came into the attic and saw them fighting. "Why are you quarreling over a suit? It's just a piece of cloth. You can share it or take turns." + +"But mom, it's not just a suit. It's a superhero suit!" Tom said. + +"Yeah, mom, it's a superhero suit! It can make us fly and shoot lasers!" Lily said. + +Their mom smiled. She knew they had big imaginations. She decided to play along. + +"Really? A superhero suit? That sounds amazing. But you know, superheroes don't quarrel. They work together and help others. Why don't you both wear the suits and show me your superpowers?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They realized their mom was right. Superheroes don't quarrel. They nodded and agreed to share the suits. Tom wore the red suit and Lily wore the blue suit. They hugged and said sorry to each other. + +"Let's go, mom! We'll show you our superpowers!" they said. + +They ran out of the attic, holding hands. They pretended to fly and shoot lasers. They had fun and laughed. They were happy and proud to be superheroes. +Tommy was a big boy, but he still slept in a crib. He did not like his crib. He wanted to sleep in a big bed, like his sister Lily. Every night, he tried to climb out of his crib, but his mommy always caught him and put him back. She said he had to behave and stay in his crib until he was older. + +One night, Tommy had a plan. He waited until his mommy said good night and left his room. Then he grabbed his blanket and threw it over the crib bars. He hoped his mommy would think he was still in his crib. He climbed on the blanket and jumped to the floor. He was free! + +He ran to Lily's room. He wanted to sleep in her bed. He opened the door and saw Lily sleeping. He was very quiet. He climbed on her bed and snuggled next to her. He was happy. + +But Lily was not happy. She woke up and saw Tommy in her bed. She was angry. She did not want to share her bed with Tommy. She pushed him and said, "Go away, Tommy! This is my bed! You have your own crib!" + +Tommy was sad. He did not want to go back to his crib. He cried and said, "But I don't like my crib! I want to sleep in a big bed, like you!" + +Lily was impatient. She did not want to hear Tommy cry. She said, "Fine, you can sleep in my bed, but only for tonight. And you have to behave and be quiet. Or else mommy will come and take you back to your crib!" + +Tommy nodded. He stopped crying and lay still. He was glad Lily let him stay. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. + +But he did not know that his mommy heard everything. She was outside the door and listened to their talk. She smiled and shook her head. She knew Tommy was a big boy, but he still needed his crib. She decided to let him sleep in Lily's bed for tonight, but tomorrow she would buy him a new bed. A big bed, just for him. She hoped he would like it and behave better. She said good night to her children and went to her own bed. She was proud of them. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big pond with many fish. Anna has a net. She wants to catch a fish. + +"Look, Ben, a fish!" Anna says. She runs to the pond with her net. She puts the net in the water. + +"Be careful, Anna!" Ben says. He follows her. He sees a sign. The sign says: "No fishing. Pond is deep. Danger." + +Anna does not see the sign. She leans over the pond. She tries to get the fish. But the fish is fast. It swims away. + +Anna loses her balance. She falls into the pond. She screams. The water is cold and deep.

Ben pulls hard. He helps Anna out of the pond. They are both wet and muddy. + +They hug each other. They are happy. They are safe. + +"Thank you, Ben, you saved me!" Anna says. She smiles. + +"You're welcome, Anna, you're my friend!" Ben says. He smiles too. + +They go back to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She sees them. She is surprised. + +"What happened to you?" she asks. She is worried. + +"We played with the fish, mom," Anna says. + +"We had an adventure, mom," Ben says. + +They tell their mom what happened.

They saw a telephone on the table. It was shiny and had buttons. They wanted to touch it. + +"Can we play with the telephone?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Mom said not to touch it. She said it is for grown-ups only." Ben said. + +"But it looks so fun. Maybe we can just press one button. Mom will not know." Lily said. + +She reached for the telephone. Ben felt guilty. He wanted to stop her, but he was also curious. He shivered. He was afraid of what would happen. + +Lily pressed a button. The telephone made a loud noise. It was ringing. They heard a voice. + +"Hello? Who is this?" The voice said. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the telephone and ran away. They hid under the sofa. + +Mom came into the living room. She saw the telephone on the floor. She picked it up. + +"Hello? Hello?" She said. + +There was no answer. She hung up. She looked around. She saw Lily and Ben under the sofa. They were shivering. + +"What are you doing there? Did you touch the telephone?" She asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. + +Mom was angry.

They found a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, and some butter. They also saw a jar of sugar on the shelf. + +"Let's put some sugar in the cake," Lily said. "It will make it sweet and yummy." + +"Okay," Ben said. "But how much?" + +Lily shrugged. "A lot," she said. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and poured some sugar into the bowl. + +"Is that enough?" Ben asked. + +"No, more," Lily said. She poured more sugar into the bowl. The jar was almost empty. + +"Stop, Lily, that's too much!" Ben said. "Mommy will be mad." + +But Lily did not listen. She poured the rest of the sugar into the bowl. She smiled and said, "Now it will be brilliant!" + +She got down from the chair and picked up a big spoon. She started to stir the mixture in the bowl. Ben watched her with a worried look. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was Mommy. She came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw the empty jar, the sugar everywhere, and the sticky bowl. + +"What are you doing?" Mommy asked. She was very angry. + +"We're making a cake for you, Mommy," Lily said. She held up the spoon and showed her the mixture. + +Mommy looked at the mixture. It was not a cake. It was a gooey mess. It was too sweet and too sticky. It was not brilliant. It was awful. + +Mommy sighed. She took the bowl and the spoon from Lily. She threw them in the trash. She said, "You can't make a cake like this. You wasted all the sugar. You made a big mess. You have to clean it up. And you have to say sorry." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They did not want to make Mommy angry. They did not want to waste the sugar. They did not want to clean the mess. They wanted to make a cake for Mommy. But they did not know how. + +They said sorry to Mommy. They helped her clean the kitchen. They did not play with the sugar anymore. They learned their lesson. But they still wished they could make a cake for Mommy. Maybe next time, they would ask her for help. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big boot in the grass. It was brown and dirty and had a hole in it. Lily wanted to use the boot as a pot for her flowers. Tom wanted to use the boot as a hat for his snowman. + +They both pulled on the boot and tried to take it from each other. They shouted and cried and made a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the boot and asked them where they got it. + +They told her they found it in the grass. She looked at the boot and said, "This is not your boot. This is Mr. Lee's boot. He is the farmer who supplies us with fresh eggs and milk. He must have lost it when he was working in the field. He needs his boot to keep his feet warm and dry. How do you think he feels without his boot?" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for Mr. Lee. They realized they were being selfish and mean. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They decided to give the boot back to Mr. Lee and say sorry to him too. They put the boot in a basket and walked to his farm. + +Mr. Lee was happy to see them and thanked them for bringing his boot. He said he was looking for it all morning and was worried he would catch a cold. He gave them some eggs and milk as a reward. He also gave them a hug and said, "You are very kind and honest children. I am proud of you. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Sharing is caring, and caring is good." + +Lily and Tom smiled and nodded. They felt happy and warm inside. They learned that it is better to be generous and respectful than to be greedy and rude. They also learned that saying sorry is important when you make a mistake. They thanked Mr. Lee and went home with their mom. They played with their own toys and shared them with each other. They never fought over the boot again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a shiny stone and showed it to Tom. Tom wanted to have it, but Lily said no. They started to fight over the stone. + +A snake was hiding under a bush. It heard the children fighting and got angry. It did not like the loud noise. It wanted them to leave. It came out of the bush and hissed at them. It had a harsh voice and sharp teeth. + +Lily and Tom saw the snake and got scared. They dropped the stone and ran away. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged them and said they were brave. She said they should not fight over things. She said they should share and be kind. She said the snake was not nice, but it was also scared of them. She said they should not go near the snake again. + +Lily and Tom said sorry to each other. They did not want the stone anymore. They wanted to play together. They went back to the garden, but they stayed away from the bush. They found some flowers and gave them to mom. Mom smiled and said they were sweet. She said she loved them very much. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to dance. They danced in the park, in the school, and in their homes. They learned many moves from their teacher, Miss Lee. She was a good dancer who taught them how to spin, jump, and split. + +One day, Lily and Sam wanted to show their parents what they learned. They put on their dance clothes and shoes and went to the living room. They played some music and started to dance.

"You make us proud!" + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Lily and Sam said, smiling. + +But then, Lily felt dizzy. She spun too much and too fast. She lost her balance and fell down. She bumped her head on the floor and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she said, holding her head. + +"Oh no, Lily, are you okay?" Sam asked, running to her. He helped her get up and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to make you dizzy," he said. + +"It's okay, Sam, it's not your fault," Lily said, wiping her tears. "I just need to rest a bit." + +Their parents came to them and checked Lily's head. They gave her a band-aid and a kiss. + +"You are very brave, Lily," they said. "But maybe you should not spin so much next time." + +"Okay, Mom and Dad," Lily said. "I still like to dance, but I don't like to be dizzy." + +"I like to dance too, but I don't like to see you hurt," Sam said. "Maybe we can try a different move next time." + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"Like this!" Sam said, and he did a funny dance that made Lily laugh. + +They both laughed and danced some more, but not too much. They had fun and they were happy. They were good friends and good dancers. +Sam was a boy who liked to help his mom. Every day, he would help her deliver food to the old people who lived near them. He would carry a big basket with bread, soup, and fruit, and knock on their doors with a smile. + +One day, when Sam and his mom were walking to the old people's houses, they saw a big dog on the street. The dog was black and brown, and had sharp teeth and a loud bark. Sam was scared of the dog, and wanted to turn back. But his mom said, "Don't worry, Sam. The dog is just lonely. He won't hurt us if we are kind and gentle. Maybe we can give him some food and make him happy." + +Sam was not sure, but he trusted his mom. He followed her as they walked past the dog, who was growling and snarling at them. Sam held the basket tightly, and hoped the dog would leave them alone. But the dog was persistent. He ran after them, and tried to bite the basket. Sam screamed, and his mom shouted, "No, bad dog! Go away!" + +They reached the first old person's house, and knocked on the door. The old lady opened the door, and saw Sam and his mom, and the dog behind them. She said, "Oh, dear, what is this? Are you in trouble?" + +Sam and his mom explained what happened, and the old lady said, "I know this dog. He belongs to Mr. Jones, who lives at the end of the street. He is a mean man, who doesn't feed or care for his dog. That's why the dog is so angry and hungry. Poor thing, he needs a good home." + +She took a piece of bread from the basket, and threw it to the dog. The dog stopped barking, and ate the bread. He wagged his tail, and looked at the old lady with gratitude. She said, "Why don't you come with me, dog? I have a big yard and a warm bed for you. You can be my friend." + +The dog followed the old lady into her house, and Sam and his mom smiled. They delivered the rest of the food to the other old people, and then went home. Sam learned that sometimes, the things that scare us are not so bad, and that kindness can change someone's life. He was proud of his mom, and of himself, for being brave and helpful. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were firemen and put out fires with the hose. They wore big hats and coats and made siren noises. + +"Look, there's a fire in the shed!" Ben said, pointing to the smoke coming out of the door. "We have to save the toys!" + +"Okay, let's go!" Lily said, following Ben with the hose. They ran to the shed and opened the door. But it was not a normal fire. It was a big, angry fire that jumped at them and burned them. + +"Ow, ow, ow!"

They suffered a lot and could not breathe. + +Their mom and dad heard their screams and came out of the house. They saw the fire and their children. They were very scared and sad.

They are angry. They do not share. + +The banana breaks. They both have half a banana. They are sad. They do not like half a banana. They look at the sunflower. The sunflower is happy.

"Can we help you fix it?" + +Sam's mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not very mad. She sees that Sam and Mia are honest and kind. + +"Thank you for telling me the truth," she says. "But you have to be more careful. Cactuses are not toys. They are living things. They need water and sun. And they can hurt you if you touch them." + +She picks up the ball and the pieces of the cactus. She tells Sam and Mia to follow her. She takes them to the shed.

It copies Tom's voice. + +Lena and Tom are amazed. They try to talk to the parrot. They ask it its name, where it lives, and what it likes. The parrot repeats everything they say. It also sings some songs. It is a very lively bird. + +Lena and Tom forget about the mud. They sit under the tree and talk and sing with the parrot. They make a new friend. They are very happy. +One day, an elderly lady named Mira went to the market to buy some peppers. She liked to cook spicy food for her family. She wore a red dress and a big hat to protect her from the sun. + +At the market, she saw a young boy named Ravi. He was very naughty and liked to play tricks on people. He saw Mira's big hat and thought it would be fun to take it. He sneaked behind her and grabbed her hat. He ran away with it, laughing. + +Mira was very angry and sad. She shouted, "Hey, give me back my hat! That's not nice!" She chased after Ravi, but he was too fast. He ran into a crowded street and disappeared. + +Mira looked around, but she could not find him. She felt very hot and tired. She also realized that she had dropped her peppers when Ravi took her hat. She had no hat, no peppers, and no money. She started to cry. + +A kind man saw her and felt sorry for her. He asked her what happened and she told him. He said, "That's terrible. I'm sorry. Here, take some of my peppers. They are fresh and sweet. And here, take this scarf. You can wear it on your head. It's not as nice as your hat, but it will keep you cool." + +Mira thanked him and smiled. She said, "You are very kind. Thank you for helping me. I hope you have a good day." She took the peppers and the scarf and went home. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be like Ravi. Don't take things that don't belong to you. It's not nice and it can hurt others. Be like the kind man. Help others when they are in trouble. It's nice and it can make others happy. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They see a big structure made of wood and metal. It has slides, swings, ladders and bridges. They want to climb on it and have fun. + +But when they get closer, they see a sign that says "Do not enter. Dangerous." The structure is old and broken. Some parts are split and rusty. The wood is rotten and the metal is sharp. + +"Let's go somewhere else," Tom says. "This structure is not safe. It can hurt us." + +But Anna is curious. She wants to see what is inside. She says, "I don't care. I want to explore. It looks like a castle." + +She runs to the structure and tries to open a door. But the door is stuck. She pushes harder and harder. Suddenly, the door breaks and falls down. Anna falls with it. She screams. + +Tom hears her scream and runs to help her. He sees her lying on the ground, bleeding from her leg. He is scared and sad. He says, "Anna, why did you do that? I told you it was dangerous. Now you are hurt." + +He takes off his shirt and wraps it around her leg. He tries to stop the bleeding. He says, "Don't worry. I will get help. Stay here. Don't move." + +He runs to find a grown-up. He sees a lady with a phone. He says, "Please, help me. My friend is hurt. She fell from the structure. It is dangerous. Please, call an ambulance." + +The lady nods and calls an ambulance. She says, "Don't worry, little boy. You did the right thing. Your friend will be okay. The ambulance is coming soon." + +Tom hopes she is right. He hopes Anna will be okay. He hopes she will learn to listen and be careful. He hopes they can still play in the park, but not on the dangerous structure. +Tom and Anna liked to eat jam on toast for breakfast. They had a big jar of jam in the cupboard. One morning, they went to the kitchen and looked for the jam, but they could not find it. The jar was gone. + +"Where is the jam?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe Mom took it." + +They asked Mom, but she said she did not take the jam. She said she saw it in the cupboard yesterday. + +"Who took the jam?" Tom and Anna wondered. + +They decided to look for clues. They saw some crumbs on the floor. They followed the crumbs to the living room. There they saw their dog, Spot, lying on the couch. He had a sticky mouth and a happy tail. + +"Spot!" Tom and Anna shouted. "You took the jam!" + +Spot looked at them with guilty eyes. He knew he had been naughty. He had seen the jar of jam in the cupboard and wanted to taste it. He had used his paws to open the cupboard and the jar. He had eaten all the jam and hidden the jar under the couch. + +"I'm sorry," Spot said in his doggy way. "The jam was yummy." + +Tom and Anna were angry, but they also felt sorry for Spot. He looked so sad and ashamed. They knew he loved them and wanted to be obedient. + +"It's okay, Spot," Tom said. "We forgive you. But you can't take things that are not yours. That's bad." + +"And you can't eat too much jam," Anna said. "That's unhealthy." + +They hugged Spot and gave him some water and a biscuit. They told Mom what had happened. Mom was not happy, but she was glad they had solved the mystery. + +She said they could have some honey on toast instead of jam. She said they should always close the cupboard and the jar. She said they should teach Spot some manners. + +Tom and Anna agreed. They ate their honey toast and shared some with Spot. They loved their dog, even when he made the jam vanish. +Tim and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. But they were not allowed to go too far, because there might be sharks in the deep. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It had a long pole with a net at the end. Tim and Mia wondered what the boat was doing. They asked their mom and dad, but they did not know. + +"Maybe they are fishing for sharks," Tim said. + +"Sharks are scary," Mia said. "They have big teeth and they bite." + +Tim and Mia decided to sneak closer to the boat and see what was in the net. They walked along the shore, holding hands. They had to be quiet, so they did not get caught. + +They reached a spot where they could see the boat better. They hid behind a rock and peeked over. They saw a big, gray shape in the net. It was a shark! + +"Look, Mia, it's a shark!" Tim whispered. + +"Wow, it's so big!" Mia whispered back. + +They watched the shark struggle in the net. It looked angry and sad. Tim and Mia felt sorry for the shark. They wished they could help it. + +"Maybe we can cut the net and let it go," Tim said. + +"But how? We don't have scissors or a knife," Mia said. + +"Maybe we can find something sharp," Tim said. + +They looked around for something they could use. They saw a broken shell, a stick, and a metal can. They picked them up and ran to the net. + +They tried to cut the net with the shell, but it was too dull. They tried to poke the net with the stick, but it was too weak. They tried to rip the net with the can, but it was too cold. + +They could not free the shark. They felt sad and scared. They heard the boat engine start. They knew they had to run away. + +They dropped the shell, the stick, and the can. They ran back to the rock. They saw the boat pull the net with the shark inside. They saw the shark disappear into the boat. + +They ran back to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what they saw. They cried and said they were sorry for the shark. + +Their mom and dad comforted them and said they did their best. They said they were proud of them for being brave and kind. They said they loved them very much. + +They took them to get some ice cream and play some games. They tried to make them happy. But Tim and Mia still thought about the shark. They hoped it would be okay. They whispered a wish for the shark to be free. +Anna and Ben are sister and brother. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. The bird has many colors and a long tail. It is unusual. + +"Look, Anna, look!" Ben says. "The bird can fly! It is so pretty!" + +Anna looks up and sees the bird. She likes the bird too. She wants to fly like the bird. + +"Can we fly, Ben?" Anna asks. "Can we have wings like the bird?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna, we cannot fly. We are not birds. We are people. People have legs, not wings." + +Anna is sad. She wants to fly. She thinks of a way to fly. + +"I have an idea, Ben!" Anna says. "Let's make wings with paper and tape. Then we can fly!" + +Ben thinks Anna's idea is silly. But he loves his sister. He wants to make her happy. He helps Anna make wings with paper and tape. They put the wings on their arms. + +"Are you ready, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, Ben, I am ready!" Anna says. + +They run to a small hill. They jump off the hill. They flap their wings. They try to fly. + +But they cannot fly. They fall to the ground. They are not hurt. They are just dirty. + +They laugh. They hug. They are happy. + +They do not need to fly. They have each other. They are sister and brother. They are unusual. +Tom and Mia like to play with tubes. They have many tubes of different colors and sizes. They use the tubes to make tunnels, bridges, and towers. They have fun with the tubes. + +One day, they find a big tube in the yard. It is black and shiny. It is very long and wide. They wonder what is inside the tube. They want to explore the tube. + +They crawl inside the tube. It is dark and quiet. They see a light at the end of the tube. They want to reach the light. They keep crawling. They hear a noise. It is loud and scary. They pause. They are afraid. + +They hold each other's hands. They are strong. They are brave. They keep crawling. They reach the light. They see a truck. The truck is making the noise. The truck is moving the tube. They are in the tube on the truck. + +They shout for help. They wave their hands. They hope someone sees them. They hope someone stops the truck. They hope someone saves them. They hope they get out of the tube. They are scared. They are in trouble. They need help. +Sara and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Sara said. + +"OK, but we have to be back soon. Mom said we have to eat lunch at noon." Ben said. + +They ran to the hill and started to climb. It was hard and steep, but they had fun. They saw birds and flowers and rocks. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They saw a forest with trees and animals. They saw a road with cars and trucks. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Sara said. + +"Look, there is a candy store on the road!" Ben said. "Can we go there and buy some sweet candy?" + +Sara nodded. They ran down the hill and crossed the road. They did not look for cars or trucks. They only looked at the candy store. They went inside and saw many kinds of candy. They wanted to try them all. + +"Hello, kids. Do you have money to buy candy?" The store owner asked. + +Sara and Ben shook their heads. They did not have money. They only had pockets. + +"Then you cannot have candy. You have to pay for candy. That is the rule." The store owner said. + +Sara and Ben did not like the rule. They wanted candy. They waited until the store owner was busy with another customer. Then they grabbed some candy and put it in their pockets. They ran out of the store and back to the hill. + +They ate the candy on the way. It was sweet and yummy. They smiled and laughed. They did not think they did anything wrong. + +But they did. The store owner saw them steal the candy. He was angry and sad. He called the police and told them what happened. The police came and followed Sara and Ben. They caught them on the hill and took them to their mom. + +Their mom was very mad and sad too. She saw the candy in their pockets. She knew they stole it. She said they were bad and naughty. She said they had to punish them. She said they had to give back the candy and say sorry to the store owner. She said they had to stay in their room for a long time. She said they could not play outside or watch TV or have dessert. + +Sara and Ben cried and cried. They said they were sorry and they did not mean to steal. They said they just wanted some sweet candy. They said they would never do it again. + +But it was too late. They had to punish them. They had to learn their lesson. They had to be good and honest. They had to follow the rules. + +They went to their room and sat on their bed. They looked out the window and saw the sun and the hill and the lake and the forest and the road and the candy store. They wished they could go back and play and have fun. But they could not. They had to stay in their room and be sad and sorry. + +The end. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and villains. Lily was the superhero and Max was the villain. They made loud noises and ran around the room. + +Suddenly, they heard the telephone ring in the kitchen. They paused their game and looked at each other. Who could it be? They ran to the kitchen to find out. + +"Hello?" Lily said, picking up the telephone. She heard a familiar voice on the other end. + +"Hi, Lily, it's Grandma. How are you, my dear?" + +"Hi, Grandma, I'm good. I'm playing with Max. We are superheroes and villains." + +"That sounds fun. Are you being nice to each other?" + +"Yes, Grandma, we are. We take turns and share our toys." + +"That's good. I'm calling to tell you that I baked some tasty cookies for you. Do you want to come over and have some?" + +Lily's eyes lit up. She loved Grandma's cookies. They were sweet and soft and had chocolate chips in them. + +"Yes, please, Grandma, I want some cookies. Can we come over now?" + +"Of course, my dear. I'll be waiting for you. Just ask Mommy or Daddy to bring you over, okay?" + +"Okay, Grandma. Thank you. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily. See you soon. Bye." + +Lily hung up the telephone and ran to the living room. She told Max the good news. + +"Max, Max, guess what? Grandma baked some tasty cookies for us. We can go over and have some. Do you want to go?" + +Max nodded eagerly. He also loved Grandma's cookies. He put down his toy and followed Lily. + +They found Mommy and Daddy in their bedroom. They told them about Grandma's call and asked them to take them to her house. + +Mommy and Daddy smiled and agreed. They got ready and took Lily and Max to the car. They drove to Grandma's house, where they had a wonderful time eating cookies and playing with Grandma. Lily and Max were very happy. They thanked Grandma for the cookies and gave her a big hug. They said goodbye and went back home. They resumed their game of superheroes and villains, but this time they were more friendly and cooperative. They had learned a lesson from Grandma: it's nice to share and care. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they went to visit their aunt Lisa, who was rich. She had a big house with many rooms and many things. She also had a big dog named Rex, who was friendly and fluffy. + +Aunt Lisa showed them her living room, where she had a big TV, a big sofa, and a big vase with flowers. She said, "This is where I watch movies and relax. You can sit on the sofa, but be careful with the vase. It is very old and very expensive. Do not touch it or break it, okay?" + +Ben and Mia nodded, but they were not very interested in the TV or the sofa. They wanted to play with Rex, who was wagging his tail and licking their faces. They ran after him and threw a ball for him to catch. Rex was very happy and ran around the room, barking and jumping. + +But then, Rex saw the vase and thought it was a toy. He ran towards it and jumped on it, trying to bite it. The vase fell from the table and broke into many pieces. Aunt Lisa heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken vase and was very angry. + +"Rex, bad dog! You broke my vase! It was very old and very expensive! How could you do this?" she shouted. Rex looked sad and hid under the sofa. Ben and Mia felt sorry for Rex and for their aunt. They said, "We are sorry, aunt Lisa. We did not mean to break your vase. We were just playing with Rex. He is a good dog. He did not know it was not a toy. Can you forgive us and him?" + +Aunt Lisa sighed and looked at the broken vase. Then she looked at Ben and Mia and Rex. She saw that they were sorry and that they loved her and her dog. She felt a little less angry and a little more kind. She said, "It is okay, Ben and Mia. I forgive you and Rex. I know you did not mean to break my vase. It was just an accident. But next time, please be more careful with my things, okay?" + +Ben and Mia nodded and hugged their aunt. They said, "Thank you, aunt Lisa. We love you and Rex. We will be more careful next time, okay?" Aunt Lisa smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, Ben and Mia. And I love Rex, even if he is a naughty dog. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. Maybe that will make us all feel better." They all went to the kitchen and had some cookies. They were happy and forgot about the broken vase. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a path in the forest behind their house. They wanted to see where it went, so they followed it. But they did not tell their mom or dad. + +"Look, Ben, there is a light in the trees!" Lily said. She pointed to a bright spot ahead of them. "Maybe it is a fairy or a firefly. Let's go and see!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. And we have to behave. Mom and dad said we should not go too far in the forest. It can be dangerous," Ben said. He was a little scared, but he did not want to show it. + +They walked towards the light, but as they got closer, they saw that it was not a fairy or a firefly. It was a big hole in the ground, and the light came from inside it. It looked like a cave. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. She was curious and wanted to go inside. + +"I don't know, but it looks scary. Maybe we should go back. It is getting dark, and we don't have a flashlight," Ben said. He was worried that they would get lost or hurt. + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the hole and peered inside. She saw something shiny and sparkly. It looked like a treasure. + +"Ben, come here! I found something amazing! It is a treasure! Maybe it belongs to a pirate or a king!" she shouted. + +She was about to climb down the hole, when she heard a loud roar. It came from inside the cave. It sounded like a monster. + +Lily screamed and ran back to Ben. They both turned around and ran as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their house. + +They hugged their mom and dad, who were very angry and worried. They had been looking for them everywhere. + +"Where have you been? We told you not to go in the forest alone! You could have been hurt or lost! You did not behave!" their mom said. + +"We are sorry, mom. We saw a light in the forest and we wanted to see what it was. But it was a hole with a monster inside. We were scared and we ran away," Lily said. + +"We are sorry, dad. We will not do it again. We learned our lesson. The forest can be dangerous. We will always listen to you and behave," Ben said. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and forgave them. They were glad that they were safe and sound. They told them to go to bed and have a good night's sleep. + +Lily and Ben went to their room and snuggled in their beds. They dreamed of fairies and fireflies, not monsters and holes. They were happy and thankful. They loved their mom and dad. And they promised to behave. +Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big machine that made popcorn. The popcorn smelled good and looked yummy. + +"Can we have some popcorn, please?" Sam and Mia asked their moms. + +"Sure, but you have to share and be careful. The popcorn is hot and the machine is broken," their moms said. They gave them some money and let them go to the machine. + +Sam and Mia were happy. They put the money in the slot and pushed the button. The machine made a loud noise and spat out a lot of popcorn. Some of it fell on the ground. + +"Wow, look at all the popcorn!" Sam said. He grabbed a big handful and stuffed it in his mouth. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It's too hot!" he cried. He spit out the popcorn and rubbed his tongue. + +Mia observed Sam and felt sorry for him. She also saw the popcorn on the ground and felt bad for the machine. + +"Sam, are you okay?" she asked. She gave him some water from her bottle. + +"I'm okay, but it hurts. I was too greedy. I should have waited for the popcorn to cool down," Sam said. + +"Mia, do you want some popcorn?" he asked. He offered her some from his bag. + +"Thank you, Sam. That's very kind of you. But I think we have enough popcorn. Look, the machine is broken. It can't stop making popcorn. We should tell someone to fix it," Mia said. + +They saw a man who worked at the park. They ran to him and told him about the machine. + +"Thank you, kids. You did the right thing. The machine is broken and needs to be repaired. Here, take these tickets. You can use them to get some ice cream or something else you like," the man said. + +Sam and Mia smiled. They thanked the man and went back to their moms. They shared their popcorn and their tickets with them. + +They learned that it is good to share and be careful. They also learned that it is good to observe and help when something is broken. They had a fun and happy day at the park. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car. + +"Let's have a race!" Tom said. "The first one to reach the door wins!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But you have to be fair and not cheat!" + +They lined up their cars and counted to three. Then they pushed them hard and watched them go. The cars zoomed across the floor, making a lot of motion. + +Tom's car was a little bit faster than Lily's car. He wanted to win, so he pushed his car again and again. He made his car increase its speed and go even faster. + +Lily saw what Tom was doing and got angry. She thought he was cheating. She pushed her car harder too, but it was not enough. Tom's car was still ahead of hers. + +They were almost at the door, when Tom's car hit a bump. It flew into the air and landed on the table. It knocked over a vase that was on the table. The vase fell down and broke into pieces. + +"Uh-oh!" Tom said. "Mom is going to be mad!" + +Lily stopped her car and looked at the mess. She saw the broken vase and the water and the flowers on the floor. She saw Tom's car on the table and his scared face. + +"You are crazy!" Lily said. "You broke Mom's vase! You are in big trouble!" + +Tom started to cry. He knew Lily was right. He wished he had not cheated and pushed his car so much. He wished he had played nice and fair. He wished he had not made his car increase its motion and go crazy. He wished he had not ruined the race and the vase. He wished he had not made Mom angry. He wished he had not made Lily angry. He wished he had not made himself sad. He wished he had not played with his car at all. +Tom is a big boy. He goes to school. He likes to study. He learns new things every day. He likes to read books and write letters. He likes to draw pictures and sing songs. + +One day, Tom has a new teacher. Her name is Miss Lily. She is nice and pretty. She smiles a lot. She says hello to Tom and the other kids. She gives them new books and crayons. She teaches them new words and numbers. + +Tom likes Miss Lily. He wants to make her happy. He studies hard. He listens to her. He does his homework. He raises his hand. He answers her questions. + +At the end of the day, Miss Lily says goodbye to Tom and the other kids. She says they did a good job. She says she is proud of them. She says she will see them tomorrow. + +Tom is happy. He runs to Miss Lily. He gives her a big hug. He says thank you. He says he likes her. He says he likes school. + +Miss Lily hugs him back. She says you're welcome. She says she likes him too. She says he is a smart and kind boy. She says she is glad he is in her class. + +Tom smiles. He waves to Miss Lily. He goes home with his mom. He tells her about his new teacher. He tells her he had a fun day. He tells her he loves to study. He tells her he loves her too. He gives her a hug. He is a happy boy. +Sam and Mia liked to play games. They were very competitive. They wanted to win every time. One day, they found a box of matches in the kitchen. They decided to play a game with them. + +"Let's see who can light more matches," Sam said. He took a match and rubbed it on the box. It made a bright flame. He smiled. + +"That's easy," Mia said. She took a match and rubbed it on the box too. It also made a flame. She smiled. + +They took turns lighting matches. They counted how many they lit. Sam had five. Mia had six. Sam wanted to catch up. He took two matches and rubbed them together. They both made flames. He laughed. + +"That's cheating," Mia said. She was angry. She took three matches and rubbed them together. They all made flames. She laughed. + +They kept lighting more matches. They did not see the smoke. They did not hear the alarm. They did not notice the fire. + +"Help! Help!" Mom shouted. She ran into the kitchen. She saw the fire. She saw the matches. She saw Sam and Mia. She was scared. She grabbed a blanket and threw it on the fire. She put it out. She took Sam and Mia and ran outside. + +"Sam! Mia! What were you doing?" Mom asked. She was angry and sad. She hugged them. + +"We were playing a game," Sam said. + +"We were lighting matches," Mia said. + +"That was a very bad game," Mom said. "Matches are not toys. They are dangerous. They can start a fire. They can hurt you. They can hurt me. They can hurt our home. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Mia nodded. They were sorry. They were scared. They hugged Mom. + +"We're sorry, Mom," they said. + +"Please don't play with matches again," Mom said. + +"We won't, Mom," they said. + +Mom kissed them. She was glad they were safe. She was glad the fire was small. She was glad no one was hurt. She took them inside. She gave them cookies and milk. She told them a story. A story with no matches. A story with no fire. A story with no scare. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom asked her to mop the floor in the kitchen. Lily was happy to do it, but she was also very tired. She had played a lot with her toys and her friends, and she did not have a nap. + +She took the mop and dipped it in the bucket of water. Then she started to mop the floor, but she did not do it very well. She left some spots dirty and some spots wet. She also yawned a lot, because she was sleepy. + +Her mom came to see how she was doing. She saw the floor and said, "Lily, what have you done? The floor is not clean at all. You have to mop it again, and do it better." + +Lily felt sad and said, "But mom, I am tired. I want to go to bed." + +Her mom said, "Lily, I know you are tired, but you have to finish what you start. If you want to help me, you have to do it well. Otherwise, you are not really helping, you are making more work for me. Why don't you take a break, drink some water, and then try again?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I am sorry. I will do it better." + +She went to the couch and drank some water. She also saw her blue teddy bear and hugged it. She felt a little better. Then she went back to the kitchen and mopped the floor again. This time, she did it carefully and made sure it was clean and dry. + +Her mom came back and saw the floor. She smiled and said, "Lily, you did a great job. The floor is sparkling. Thank you for helping me. You are a good girl." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I am sorry I did not do it well the first time. I learned that I have to do things well, even if I am tired. And I learned that I need a nap sometimes." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "That's right, Lily. You learned a good lesson today. Now, why don't you go to bed and have a nice dream?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I love you." + +She went to her room and cuddled with her blue teddy bear. She closed her eyes and yawned. She fell asleep and had a nice dream. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toys and make things with clay. One day, they found a new clay that was very soft and smooth. It had a nice texture. + +"Let's make a cake with this clay," Sam said. "We can pretend it is a real cake and eat it." + +Tim agreed. They rolled the clay into a big ball and flattened it. Then they cut it into slices and put them on a plate. They added some red and green clay for berries and leaves. + +The cake looked very yummy. Tim and Sam were hungry. They picked up a slice each and opened their mouths. + +"Stop!" a voice said. It was Tim's mom. She had seen them from the window. "Don't eat that clay. It is not food. It is for playing only. It can make you sick." + +Tim and Sam dropped the clay. They looked at Tim's mom. They did not understand. Why could they not eat the clay? It looked like a cake. + +Tim's mom came over and hugged them. She explained that some things that look like food are not food. They have different ingredients and textures that are not good for the body. She showed them the label on the clay that said "not for eating". + +Tim and Sam nodded. They understood. They said sorry to Tim's mom. They promised to never eat clay again. + +Tim's mom smiled. She was glad they learned their lesson. She said she had a surprise for them. She went inside and came back with a real cake. It was hot and smelled good. It had real berries and leaves on top. + +Tim and Sam were happy. They thanked Tim's mom. They shared the cake with her. They enjoyed the taste and the texture. They learned that food is food and clay is clay. They decided to play with clay in a different way. They made animals and cars and houses. They had fun. They were still best friends. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They share a room and a bed. They like to play with their toys and read books. But sometimes they quarrel over small things. + +One night, they quarrel over the sheet. Tim wants the blue sheet and Sam wants the brown sheet. They pull and tug at the sheet. They shout and cry. + +"Stop it!" Mom says. "You are making too much noise. You should share and be kind to each other. The sheet is not important. What matters is that you love each other." + +But Tim and Sam do not listen. They keep quarreling over the sheet. They do not say sorry or hug each other. They fall asleep angry and sad. + +The next morning, they wake up and see that the sheet is torn. They feel bad. They look at each other and say sorry. They hug and smile. They realize that Mom was right. The sheet is not important. What matters is that they love each other. + +Moral: Love is more important than things. We should not quarrel over small things. We should share and be kind to each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and talk. One day, they find a big pack of gum in the park. They are happy and excited. + +"Look, Lily, gum!" Ben says. "We can chew and blow bubbles!" + +"Yes, Ben, gum!" Lily says. "But we have to share. There are many pieces." + +They open the pack and take one piece each. They put the gum in their mouths and chew. They try to blow bubbles, but it is hard. They have to work with their tongues and lips. + +"Pop!" Ben blows a small bubble. It bursts on his nose. He laughs. + +"Pop!" Lily blows a bigger bubble. It bursts on her cheek. She giggles. + +They chew and blow more bubbles. They have fun. They look charming with their pink and blue bubbles. + +A lady walks by. She sees Lily and Ben. She smiles. She thinks they are cute. + +"Hello, children," she says. "What are you doing?" + +"We are chewing gum and blowing bubbles," Lily says. + +"We found the gum in the park," Ben says. + +The lady frowns. She thinks that is not good. + +"Children, you should not take gum from the park," she says. "It might be old or dirty. You should ask your parents before you eat anything." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not know. They spit out the gum. + +"Sorry, lady," they say. + +The lady nods. She is not angry. She is kind. + +"It's okay, children," she says. "But next time, be careful. Here, I have some candy for you. You can have one each. But don't forget to brush your teeth later." + +She gives them each a candy. They say thank you. They unwrap the candy and put it in their mouths. It is sweet and yummy. + +They wave goodbye to the lady. They walk home. They are still friends. They still like to play and talk. But they do not chew gum from the park anymore. +Tom was very tired. He had played all day with his toys and his friends. He wanted to go to bed, but his mom said he had to eat dinner first. She made him a plate of noodles and cheese, his favorite food. But Tom was too sleepy to eat. He yawned and pushed his plate away. + +"Come on, Tom, you have to eat something," his mom said. "You need energy for tomorrow. We are going to the zoo!" + +Tom liked the zoo. He wanted to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. He remembered the last time he went to the zoo, he saw a big metal cage with a sign that said "Coming Soon". He wondered what animal was inside. Maybe a dinosaur or a dragon or a unicorn. He wanted to find out. + +He decided to eat a little bit of his dinner, so he could go to the zoo tomorrow. He picked up his fork and took a bite of his noodles. They were warm and cheesy and yummy. He took another bite, and another, and soon his plate was empty. He drank his milk and wiped his mouth. + +"Good boy, Tom," his mom said. "Now you can go to bed. I'll read you a story if you want." + +Tom nodded and followed his mom to his room. He put on his pajamas and climbed into his bed. His mom tucked him in and gave him a kiss. She picked up a book from his shelf and opened it. + +"Let's see, what story do you want to hear tonight?" she asked. "How about this one? It's called 'The Metal Monster'." + +Tom's eyes widened. He recognized the book. It was the same one he saw at the zoo, next to the metal cage. He wondered if the book was about the animal that was coming soon. He wanted to hear the story, but he was also a little scared. + +"Mom, what is the metal monster?" he asked. + +His mom smiled and said, "You'll have to listen and find out. But don't worry, it's not a scary story. It's a funny story. You'll like it." + +She began to read the book, and Tom listened. He heard about a metal monster that was not really a monster, but a robot. A robot that escaped from a factory and went to the zoo, looking for a friend. A robot that met a lot of animals, but none of them wanted to play with him. A robot that was lonely and sad, until he found a metal cage with a sign that said "Coming Soon". + +Tom felt sorry for the robot. He hoped he would find a friend in the metal cage. He wondered who or what was inside. He yawned and closed his eyes. He fell asleep, dreaming of the zoo and the metal monster and the coming soon animal. He hoped they would be available tomorrow. He hoped they would be happy. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and shiny. It has fancy letters on it. The letters say "Happy Birthday". + +"Wow, look at the balloon!" Lila says. "I want it!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's grab it!" + +They run after the balloon. They try to jump and catch it. But the balloon is too high. It flies away to the east. The twins follow it. They do not see where they are going. + +They come to a big road. There are many cars and buses. They are loud and fast. The twins are scared. They do not know how to cross the road. + +"Help!" Lila cries. "We are lost!" + +"Where is Mommy?" Ben asks. "Where is the park?" + +A nice lady sees them. She is wearing a blue dress and a hat. She has a kind face. She comes to them. + +"Hello, little ones," she says. "Are you OK? Where are your parents?" + +"We are looking for the balloon," Lila says. "It is red and shiny. It has fancy letters." + +"We ran after it, but it flew away to the east," Ben says. "We do not know how to go back." + +The lady smiles. She takes their hands. She helps them cross the road. She calls their Mommy on her phone. She tells her where they are. + +Soon, Mommy comes. She hugs them. She thanks the lady. She takes them back to the park. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lila says. "We wanted the balloon." + +"It's OK, sweetie," Mommy says. "But you should never run away from me. It is dangerous. You could get hurt." + +"I'm sorry, too, Mommy," Ben says. "We were silly. We should have stayed with you." + +Mommy kisses them. She gives them each a small balloon. They are pink and green. They have happy faces on them. + +"Here you go," Mommy says. "These are your balloons. They are not as big or as fancy as the other one, but they are yours. And they will not fly away." + +Lila and Ben smile. They hug their balloons. They hug their Mommy. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They will not chase balloons again. +Lily loved to play with her trumpet. She liked to make loud noises and pretend she was in a band. But her mom did not always allow her to play with her trumpet. She said it was too noisy and it hurt her ears. + +One day, Lily saw a fancy dress in her mom's closet. It was shiny and pink and had a big bow. Lily wanted to try it on and play princess. She took the dress and put it on. She felt very pretty and happy. She also took her trumpet and went to the living room. + +She saw her dad sitting on the couch and reading a book. She ran to him and said, "Look, dad, I'm a princess! And I have a trumpet! Do you want to hear me play?" + +Her dad looked at her and smiled. He said, "You look very fancy, Lily. But I don't think your mom would like you to wear her dress. And I don't think she would like you to play your trumpet in the house. It's too loud and it might break something." + +Lily felt sad. She said, "But I want to play with my trumpet. And I want to wear the fancy dress. It's fun and it makes me happy." + +Her dad thought for a moment. He said, "How about we go outside and play with your trumpet? And you can wear the fancy dress, but you have to be careful not to get it dirty. And you have to give it back to your mom when we're done. Is that okay?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, dad. That sounds good. Thank you for allowing me to play with my trumpet and wear the fancy dress. You're the best dad ever!" + +They went outside and played with the trumpet. Lily made loud noises and her dad clapped and cheered. They had a lot of fun and Lily felt very happy. She gave her dad a big hug and said, "I love you, dad. And I love my trumpet. And I love the fancy dress. But I love you more." +Lily and Sam are camping with their mom and dad. They have a big tent to sleep in. They like to play outside and look at the trees and the stars. + +One morning, Lily and Sam wake up early. They are hungry. They see a basket of bread and jam on the table. They want to feed themselves. + +"Can we have some bread and jam, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful not to make a mess," mom says. + +Lily and Sam take some bread and jam and sit on the grass. They spread the jam with their fingers. They eat the bread and lick the jam. They are happy. + +But they do not see a funny animal behind them. It is a raccoon. It has a black and white face and a striped tail. It smells the bread and jam. It wants some too. + +The raccoon sneaks up to the basket. It grabs a piece of bread and runs away. Lily and Sam hear a noise. They turn around and see the raccoon. + +"Hey, that's our bread!" Sam shouts. + +"Give it back, you funny animal!" Lily says. + +They chase the raccoon, but it is too fast. It runs into the woods. Lily and Sam stop and laugh. + +"It's okay, we have more bread," Lily says. + +"Maybe the raccoon was hungry too," Sam says. + +They go back to the basket and finish their breakfast. They are not mad at the raccoon. They think it is funny. They tell mom and dad what happened. Mom and dad smile and hug them. + +They have a fun day camping. They play, sing, and tell stories. They feed the birds and the squirrels. They do not see the raccoon again, but they remember it. They call it their funny friend. +Anna and Ben are young. They like to play outside. They go to the creek near their house. The creek has water and rocks and fish. Anna and Ben have fun. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big rock!" Anna says. She picks up the rock and shows it to Ben. + +"That's not a rock, Anna, that's a turtle!" Ben says. He sees the turtle's head and legs. "It's alive!" + +Anna is scared. She drops the rock-turtle. It falls into the water. Splash! + +"Sorry, turtle!" Anna says. She feels bad. + +The turtle does not answer. It swims away. It is angry. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They hurt the turtle. They want to say sorry again. + +They look for the turtle in the water. They do not see it. + +"Where is the turtle, Ben?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know, Anna," Ben says. "Maybe it went home." + +Anna and Ben hope the turtle is okay. They hope it will come back. They hope it will be their friend. They say bye to the creek. They go back to their house. They tell their mom about the turtle. Their mom hugs them. She says they are good kids. She says they can go to the creek again. She says they can be nice to the turtle. Anna and Ben smile. They want to see the turtle again. They want to play with it. They want to give it a name. They think of names for the turtle. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They did not care if they got dirty. They thought it was fun. + +"Look at my big mud pie!" Sara said. "It has worms and rocks and leaves on it. Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you," Tom said. "I made a mud castle. It has a moat and a bridge and a flag. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please," Sara said. They ran to Tom's castle and admired it. + +But they did not see Mom coming out of the house. She had a basket of clean clothes. She wanted to hang them on the line to dry. She saw the children covered in mud. She was not happy. + +"Oh, no!" Mom said. "What have you done? You spoiled your clothes and shoes. They are all muddy and wet. How will I do the laundry now?" + +Sara and Tom looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They looked at their mud pies and castle. They did not understand why Mom was angry. They thought they were just playing. + +"Sorry, Mom," Sara said. "We were having fun. We did not mean to spoil anything." + +"Fun?" Mom said. "This is not fun. This is silly. You need to take off your clothes and shoes and go inside. You need to take a bath and put on clean clothes. And you need to help me with the laundry later." + +Sara and Tom did what Mom said. They took off their clothes and shoes and went inside. They took a bath and put on clean clothes. They helped Mom with the laundry later. They learned that mud was not good for clothes and shoes. They decided to play with something else next time. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were mailmen and mailwomen. They had a big box of old letters and envelopes. They took turns to put them in their bags and deliver them to different places. + +"Here is your mail, Mr. Tree," Ben said, as he hung an envelope on a branch. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good mailman," Lily said, pretending to be the tree. + +"Here is your mail, Mrs. Flower," Lily said, as she tucked a letter under a petal. "Thank you, Lily. You are a good mailwoman," Ben said, pretending to be the flower. + +They had fun for a long time. But then they saw something shiny in the box. It was a shoe. It was Mommy's shoe. It was very pretty and sparkly. Ben and Lily wanted to try it on. + +"Can I wear it?" Ben asked. "No, I want to wear it," Lily said. They both grabbed the shoe and pulled. They pulled so hard that the shoe ripped. The sparkles fell off. The shoe was broken. + +Ben and Lily gasped. They felt ashamed. They knew they had done something bad. They knew Mommy would be angry. They did not know what to do. + +They heard Mommy coming. They quickly hid the shoe under some leaves. They hoped Mommy would not notice. + +"Hello, my little mailmen and mailwomen," Mommy said, as she came into the yard. "What are you playing?" + +"We are playing mail," Ben and Lily said, in small voices. + +"That sounds fun. Can I see your mail?" Mommy asked. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They showed Mommy their letters and envelopes. Mommy smiled. She praised them for being creative and polite. + +But then Mommy saw something under the leaves. She moved them aside. She saw the shoe. Her shoe. Her broken shoe. + +Mommy frowned. She looked at Ben and Lily. Ben and Lily looked at the ground. They felt ashamed. + +"Did you do this?" Mommy asked. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry. They said they wanted to try the shoe on. They said they did not mean to break it. + +Mommy sighed. She was not happy. She told Ben and Lily that they should not take things that were not theirs. She told them that they should not break things that were not theirs. She told them that they should be careful and respectful. + +Ben and Lily said they understood. They said they were sorry again. They hugged Mommy. Mommy hugged them back. She said she loved them. She said she forgave them. But she said they had to help her fix the shoe. And they had to do some extra chores. + +Ben and Lily agreed. They wanted to make Mommy happy. They wanted to be good mailmen and mailwomen. They learned their lesson. They never took Mommy's shoes again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had a toy gun and a big television. They pretended to be spies and shoot the bad guys on the screen. + +"Bang! Bang! I got him!" Tom said, pointing the gun at the television. + +"No, you missed! He's still there!" Lily said, grabbing the gun from Tom. + +"Give it back! It's my turn!" Tom said, pulling the gun. + +They both pulled hard and the gun broke. The pieces flew in the air and hit the television. The television made a loud noise and turned off. + +"Oh no! We broke the television!" Tom and Lily said, looking at the black screen. + +They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. They were scared. They hid behind the couch and hoped she would not see the broken television. + +"Tom? Lily? What are you doing?" their mom asked, entering the living room. + +She saw the broken gun and the big television. She was angry. + +"Who did this? Who broke the television?" she asked, looking at the couch. + +Tom and Lily did not answer. They were very sorry. They wished they had not played with the gun. They wished they had watched the television instead. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a big key on the table. They wondered what it could unlock. + +"Maybe it unlocks a treasure chest!" Ben said. + +"Or a secret door!" Lily said. + +They took the key and ran around the house, looking for something to unlock. They tried the door to the basement, but it was already open. They tried the door to the bathroom, but it was locked from the inside. + +"Who is in there?" Lily asked. + +"It's me, Mommy!" Mommy said. "I'm taking a shower. Please don't bother me." + +"Sorry, Mommy!" Lily and Ben said. + +They kept looking for something to unlock. They tried the drawers in the kitchen, but they were too small. They tried the closet in the hallway, but it was empty. + +They went back to the living room. They saw a big chair with a lock on it. They had never seen it before. + +"Maybe this is it!" Ben said. + +"Let's try it!" Lily said. + +They put the key in the lock and turned it. The chair opened up and revealed a hidden compartment. Inside, there were some old books, some photos, and a teddy bear. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben said. + +They took out the teddy bear and hugged it. It was soft and fluffy. + +"Look, it has a name tag!" Lily said. + +She read the name tag. It said: "To Daddy, from Grandma. Happy birthday!" + +Lily and Ben gasped. They realized they had unlocked Daddy's chair. It was his special chair that Grandma gave him when he was a little boy. They knew Daddy loved his chair and his teddy bear very much. + +They felt embarrassed. They had done something bad. They put the teddy bear back in the chair and closed it. They put the key back on the table. + +They heard Daddy coming home. They ran to their room and hid under the bed. + +They hoped Daddy would not find out. They hoped he would not be angry. They hoped he would still love them. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could sit in and rock. They felt very happy and lucky when they rocked in their car. They thought it was a luxury. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben and he had no toys. He looked sad and lonely. He saw Lily and Tom rocking in their car and wished he could join them. + +"Can I play with you?" he asked shyly. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not want to share their car. It was too important to them. + +"No, you can't," said Lily. "This is our car. We found it first. Go away." + +Ben felt hurt and angry. He did not like Lily and Tom. He thought they were mean and selfish. + +"Fine, I don't need your car," he said. "I can find something better to play with." + +He walked away and looked around the park. He saw a big pile of leaves that someone had raked. He ran to the pile and jumped in. He laughed and tossed the leaves in the air. He felt happy and free. He thought it was fun. + +Lily and Tom watched him from their car. They saw him having a good time. They felt curious and bored. They wondered if playing with leaves was better than rocking in their car. + +"Maybe we should go and see what he is doing," said Tom. + +"Maybe we should," said Lily. + +They got out of their car and walked to the pile of leaves. They asked Ben if they could play with him. + +"Sure, you can," said Ben. "There are enough leaves for everyone. Come on, it's fun." + +Lily and Tom joined Ben and played with the leaves. They laughed and tossed the leaves in the air. They felt happy and free. They thought it was fun. + +They forgot about their car. They did not need it anymore. They had made a new friend. They thought it was more important. +Lila and Max were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big vine that grew on the wall. The vine had many green leaves and purple flowers. + +"Wow, look at the vine!" Lila said. "It is so pretty and long. I want to touch it." + +"Me too," Max said. "But we have to be careful. The vine is not ours. It belongs to the old lady who lives in the house." + +They walked closer to the vine and reached out their hands. But before they could touch it, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! Get away from my vine!" It was the old lady who lived in the house. She came out of the door and waved a stick. "This is my vine. I care for it every day. You have no right to touch it. Go away!" + +Lila and Max were scared and ran away. They felt sad and envious. They wished they had a vine like that in their garden. + +"Why is she so mean?" Lila asked. "She has such a beautiful vine. She should share it with us." + +"I don't know," Max said. "Maybe she is lonely and afraid. Maybe she thinks we will hurt her vine." + +They looked back at the vine and the old lady. They felt sorry for her. They decided to do something nice for her. + +The next day, they came back to the garden. They brought some water and some seeds. They found a spot near the wall where there was no vine. They dug a hole and planted the seeds. They watered them and hoped they would grow. + +"Maybe we can have our own vine someday," Lila said. + +"Maybe," Max said. "And maybe the old lady will see it and like it. Maybe she will be happy and friendly. Maybe she will let us touch her vine." + +They smiled and held hands. They cared for each other and their seeds. They waited for the vine to grow. +Lily was a loyal dog. She loved her human, Sam, very much. Every day, Sam went to work and Lily stayed at home. She waited for him to come back and play with her. + +One day, Sam did not go to work. He was sick and had to stay in bed. Lily was sad. She wanted to help him feel better. She brought him his slippers, his blanket, and his favorite toy. She licked his face and wagged her tail. + +"Thank you, Lily," Sam said. "You are a very good dog. But you don't have to do all this work for me. You can just cuddle with me and keep me warm." + +"Please, Sam," Lily said. "Let me do this work for you. You always do so much work for me. You feed me, you walk me, you play with me. You are my best friend. I want to make you happy." + +Sam smiled and hugged Lily. He was glad to have such a loyal dog. He felt a little better because of her. He said, "You are right, Lily. You are my best friend too. And you make me very happy. I love you, Lily." + +Lily barked and wagged her tail. She loved Sam too. She snuggled with him and kept him warm. They both fell asleep, dreaming of happy days. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Mia had a doll. They were having fun until Ben saw Mia's doll. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asked. + +"No, it's mine!" Mia said. "You have your truck." + +"But I want the doll too!" Ben said. He tried to grab the doll from Mia, but she held it tight. + +"Let go!" Mia shouted. "You're hurting me!" + +"Give me the doll!" Ben shouted back. He pulled harder and harder, and Mia started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and Mia fighting over the doll. + +"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said. "You can't play like that. You have to share and be nice." + +She took the doll from Ben and gave it back to Mia. She told Ben to say sorry to Mia and find another toy to play with. + +Ben was angry and sad. He didn't want to say sorry or play with another toy. He wanted the doll. He looked around and saw a clear object on the table. It was Mom's vase. It had flowers and water in it. It looked pretty. + +Ben had an idea. He ran to the table and grabbed the vase. He thought he could trade the vase for the doll. + +"Look, Mia!" Ben said. "I have a clear object. It's better than your doll. Do you want to swap?" + +Mia looked at the vase. She liked the flowers, but she loved her doll more. She shook her head. + +"No, thank you," Mia said. "I want to keep my doll. You can keep your clear object." + +Ben was frustrated. He didn't want the vase. He wanted the doll. He threw the vase on the floor. It broke into pieces. The water and the flowers spilled everywhere. + +Mom heard the crash and came back to the living room. She saw the mess and the broken vase. She was very angry. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom said. "That was my vase. It was very special to me. You can't just break things like that. You have to be careful and respectful." + +She told Ben to go to his room and think about what he did. She said he had to shut the door and stay there until she came to talk to him. + +Ben felt sorry and scared. He didn't mean to break the vase. He just wanted the doll. He went to his room and shut the door. He wished he had listened to Mom and shared with Mia. He hoped Mom would forgive him. He learned a hard lesson. +Lily liked to help her mom cook. She liked to stir and pour and taste. One day, mom said they would make a cake. Lily was happy. She wanted to eat cake. + +Mom gave Lily a big bowl and some eggs. She said, "Lily, can you crack the eggs and put them in the bowl?" Lily nodded. She took an egg and tapped it on the counter. But the egg was too hard. It did not crack. Lily tapped harder. The egg still did not crack. Lily tapped harder and harder. The egg flew out of her hand and hit the wall. It broke and made a mess. Lily was sad. She said, "Sorry, mom. I broke the egg." + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. We have more eggs. Let's try again." She gave Lily another egg. She said, "Lily, this time, don't tap the egg. Twist the egg. Hold it in both hands and twist it gently. Then it will crack." Lily nodded. She took the egg and held it in both hands. She twisted it gently. The egg cracked. Lily was happy. She said, "Look, mom. I did it. I cracked the egg." + +Mom said, "Good job, Lily. You are a good helper. Now, put the egg in the bowl and we will make the cake." Lily put the egg in the bowl. She saw the yolk and the white. She said, "Mom, what is this?" Mom said, "This is the inside of the egg. It has two parts. The yellow part is the yolk. The clear part is the white. We need both parts to make the cake." Lily said, "Oh, I see. Can I stir them?" Mom said, "Yes, you can. Here is a spoon. Stir them well." Lily took the spoon and stirred the egg. She liked to see the colors mix. She said, "Mom, this is fun. I like to cook with you." + +Mom said, "I like to cook with you too, Lily. You are a sweet girl. Now, let's add some flour and sugar and butter and milk and vanilla. Then we will bake the cake and eat it." Lily said, "Yay, cake. I can't wait." She helped mom add the ingredients and mix them. Then mom poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. Lily watched the cake rise and smell good. She said, "Mom, the cake is ready. Can we eat it now?" Mom said, "Not yet, Lily. We have to wait for it to cool down. Then we can cut it and put some frosting on it. Do you want to help me make the frosting?" Lily said, "Yes, please. I love frosting." Mom said, "Me too. Let's go to the kitchen and make some frosting. Then we will have a delicious cake." Lily said, "Okay, mom. You are the best. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my precious girl." They hugged and went to the kitchen. They made some frosting and put it on the cake. Then they cut a big slice and shared it. They ate the cake and smiled. They were happy. They had a good day. +Tom and Sue are playing in the kitchen. They see a big pot on the stove. They want to know what is inside. + +"Let's look in the pot," Tom says. + +"OK," Sue says. + +They climb on a chair and lift the lid. They see something brown and bubbly. It smells bad. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. + +Suddenly, the pot makes a loud noise. It spits out some hot stuff. It lands on Tom and Sue. They feel pain. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom and Sue scream. + +Mom hears them and runs to the kitchen. She sees them crying and covered in mess. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. + +"We looked in the pot," Tom says. + +"You looked in the pot?" Mom says. "That was a big mistake. That was Dad's soup. He was trying to make something new. But it did not work. It was very bad." + +Mom takes Tom and Sue to the bathroom. She washes them and puts some cream on their burns. She hugs them and says sorry. + +"It's OK, Mom," Tom says. + +"It's OK, Mom," Sue says. + +They are not scared anymore. They are glad Mom is here. They do not want to look in the pot again. +Lily liked to play in the garden with her mom. She helped her mom pick the herbs that smelled good and put them in a basket. Mom said they could use the herbs to make soup or tea or bread. Lily liked to smell the herbs and feel their soft leaves. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny thing in the dirt. It was round and brown and had a hole in the middle. She picked it up and showed it to her mom. "What is this, mom?" she asked. + +Mom looked at the shiny thing and smiled. "That is a coin, Lily. It is a very old coin that someone lost a long time ago. It is very rare and valuable. You are very lucky to find it." + +Lily was happy. She liked the coin. It was shiny and pretty and made her feel special. She wanted to keep it and show it to her friends. She put it in her pocket and went back to picking herbs. + +But she did not notice that the coin had a tiny crack in it. And she did not notice that a naughty squirrel was watching her from a tree. The squirrel liked shiny things too. He waited until Lily and her mom went inside the house. Then he jumped down and ran to the basket of herbs. He dug through the herbs and found the coin. He grabbed it and ran away. + +Lily did not know that the squirrel had taken her coin. She was very sad when she looked in her pocket and saw that it was empty. She cried and told her mom what happened. Mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. Maybe the coin will come back to you someday. Maybe it will shine for someone else who needs it. Maybe it will bring good luck to the squirrel. You still have the herbs, and they are very useful and nice. And you still have me, and I love you very much." + +Lily felt a little better. She still missed the coin, but she knew that mom was right. She smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Can we make some tea with the herbs?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can. And maybe we can find some cookies too." + +They went to the kitchen and made some tea and cookies. They drank and ate and talked and laughed. Lily forgot about the coin for a while. She was happy with her mom and the herbs. They shone for her in a different way. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. They also see stones. Stones are hard and gray and round. Ben and Lily pick up some stones and put them in a pile. + +"Let's create something with the stones," Ben says. + +"What can we create?" Lily asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. "We can create a wild animal," he says. + +"A wild animal? Like what?" Lily says. + +Ben looks around. He sees a squirrel on a tree. He points to it. "Like that. A squirrel. A wild squirrel." + +Lily nods. She likes squirrels. They are furry and fast and have long tails. Ben and Lily start to create a squirrel with the stones. They use a big stone for the body, a small stone for the head, two tiny stones for the eyes, and a long stone for the tail. They also use some leaves and sticks to make the ears and the legs. + +"Look, we did it!" Ben says. "We created a wild squirrel with the stones." + +Lily smiles. She is proud of their creation. She wants to show it to someone. She sees a man walking by with a dog. She waves to him. "Hey, mister, look at our squirrel!" she says. + +The man stops and looks at their squirrel. He smiles too. He thinks it is very clever and cute. He bends down and says to Ben and Lily, "Wow, that's a very nice squirrel. You are very creative. Did you use stones to make it?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They are happy that the man likes their squirrel. They say thank you to him. The man says you're welcome and walks away with his dog. Ben and Lily look at each other and giggle. They have fun creating things with stones. They wonder what else they can create. +Tommy liked to play with his hoop. He would roll it on the grass and chase it. He would toss it in the air and catch it. He would spin it around his waist and laugh. He had fun with his hoop. + +But one day, he saw a big hoop in the park. It was shiny and red and had a bell on it. Tommy wanted that hoop. He ran to it and grabbed it. He did not see the girl who owned the hoop. She was on the swing. + +"Hey, that's my hoop!" the girl shouted. She got off the swing and ran to Tommy. "Give it back, now!" + +"No, it's mine!" Tommy said. He held the hoop tight and ran away. He did not care that the girl was crying. He did not care that he was being mean. + +But he did not get far. A man saw what Tommy did. He was the girl's dad. He was angry. He caught Tommy and took the hoop from him. He gave it back to the girl and hugged her. He said he was sorry. + +Then he looked at Tommy. He said, "You are a bad boy. You stole the hoop. You made the girl sad. You need to be punished. You will not play with your hoop for a week. You will go home and say sorry to your mom and dad. And you will say sorry to the girl, too." + +Tommy felt miserable. He knew he did wrong. He wished he did not take the hoop. He wished he was nice to the girl. He wished he could play with his hoop. He said sorry to the girl. He said sorry to the man. He went home with his head down. He said sorry to his mom and dad. He put his hoop in the closet. He did not have fun. He learned his lesson. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fountain. The fountain has many colors and makes a nice sound. + +"Wow, look at the fountain!" Anna says. "It is so pretty and cool!" + +"Can we drink from it?" Ben asks. He is thirsty. + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it is not clean." + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the fountain and puts his mouth on the switch. He pushes the switch and water comes out. He drinks the water. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna shouts. "That is not good water!" + +But Ben does not stop. He drinks more and more water. He likes the water. It is sweet and fizzy. + +Anna runs to him and tries to pull him away. But he is too strong. He pushes her and she falls down. She hurts her knee and cries. + +"Ben, you are not a good friend!" Anna says. "You are mean and greedy!" + +But Ben does not care. He drinks more and more water. He does not see that the water is not normal. It has something bad in it. It makes him sick. + +Soon, Ben feels bad. His stomach hurts. His head hurts. He is dizzy and tired. He wants to stop drinking. But he cannot. The switch is stuck. He cannot let go of the switch. He is trapped. + +"Help, help!" Ben cries. "I want to stop!" + +But no one hears him. No one comes to help him. He drinks more and more water. He drinks too much water. He cannot breathe. He chokes. He falls down. He does not move. + +Anna sees him and is scared. She runs to him and shakes him. But he does not wake up. He is gone. + +Anna is sad and alone. She wishes she had a dependable friend. A friend who listens and cares. A friend who does not drink from the fountain. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play with pennies. They had a big jar of pennies that they counted and sorted every day. They liked to make towers and patterns with the pennies, and sometimes they pretended they were rich. + +One day, they had a fight over the pennies. Ben wanted to make a long snake with the pennies, but Jen wanted to make a big circle. They pulled and pushed the pennies, and soon they were all over the floor. They shouted and cried, and did not want to share. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the angry twins, and she was not happy. She said, "You are being foolish. Pennies are not for fighting, they are for saving and giving. If you want to play with pennies, you have to unite and cooperate. Otherwise, you will lose them all." + +Ben and Jen felt sorry for their fight. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They picked up the pennies and put them back in the jar. Then they decided to unite and make a heart with the pennies, to show their love. Mom smiled and hugged them, and gave them each a cookie. They learned their lesson, and never fought over pennies again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They wanted to decorate it more, but they did not have anything else. + +"Let's go find something in the house," Lily said. + +"OK," Ben said. They ran inside and looked around. They saw some oranges, some buttons, some yarn and some paper. + +"Look, we can make a tiger face for the snowman!" Lily said. She took an orange and cut it in half. She used the buttons for the eyes and the yarn for the whiskers. She cut out some stripes from the paper and stuck them on the orange. + +"Wow, that looks great!" Ben said. He took the other half of the orange and made a nose. He put it on the snowman's face. + +They went outside and showed their snowman to their mom. She smiled and took a picture. + +"What a creative snowman!" she said. "You made a tiger out of snow!" + +Lily and Ben were very proud. They hugged their mom and their snowman. They liked to decorate things with their imagination. +Tom and Mia like to play cops and robbers. Tom is the cop and Mia is the robber. They run around the yard and pretend to chase each other. Tom has a toy gun and Mia has a bag of candy. + +One day, Tom sees Mia hiding behind a tree. He sneaks up on her and says, "Stop, robber! I got you!" Mia says, "No, you don't! I'm too fast for you!" She runs away with the bag of candy. Tom follows her and tries to catch her. + +They run and run until they reach the fence. Mia climbs over the fence and jumps to the other side. Tom tries to climb over the fence too, but he is too small. He can't reach the top. He feels sad and angry. He wants to get the candy and win the game. + +He sees a big rock near the fence. He has an idea. He pushes the rock to the fence and stands on it. Now he can reach the top of the fence. He gains height and jumps over the fence. He lands on the other side and sees Mia. She is sitting on the grass and eating the candy. She looks happy and warm. + +Tom runs to her and says, "Ha! I got you, robber! Give me the candy!" Mia says, "No, it's mine! I got it fair and square!" They start to argue and tug on the bag of candy. The candy falls out of the bag and scatters on the ground. They both stop and look at the candy. + +They feel silly and sorry. They wasted the candy and ruined the game. They say sorry to each other and hug. They decide to share the candy and be friends. They eat some candy and feel warm and sweet. They smile and laugh and play again. They are happy and have fun. +Lily and Ben like to play with their kayak. They have a big lake near their house. They paddle and splash and have fun. They wear life jackets to be safe. + +One day, they see a big lock on the lake. It is a gate that lets boats go up and down. They are curious. They want to see what is on the other side. They paddle to the lock. They do not see the sign that says "Danger". + +The lock keeper sees them. He is angry. He shouts at them to go back. But they do not hear him. They are too far away. He pushes a button. The lock starts to close. The water goes down. Lily and Ben are scared. They try to paddle out. But they are too late. The lock is closed. They are trapped. + +The lock keeper calls for help. He tries to open the lock. But it is broken. He cannot open it. He is sorry. He cries. Lily and Ben cry too. They hug each other. They are cold and wet and hungry. They wait for help. But no one comes. The kayak is too small. The lock is too dark. The water is too low. They cannot breathe. They die. +Tom and Mia are brother and sister. They like to watch cartoons on TV. But they do not like the same cartoons. Tom likes cars and robots. Mia likes animals and princesses. + +One day, they have a big fight. They both want to watch their favorite cartoon. They yell and pull the remote. They do not share or take turns. + +"Give me the remote! I want to watch cars!" Tom says. + +"No, it is my turn! I want to watch animals!" Mia says. + +They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She is not happy. She takes the remote and turns off the TV. + +"Stop fighting! You are both very rude and selfish. You need to learn to respect each other and compromise. No more cartoons for today. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." Mom says. + +Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They go to their rooms and slam the door. They do not talk to each other. They lie on their beds and stare at the ceiling. They are very bored and tired. They wish they had not fought. They miss watching cartoons and playing together. They are sorry. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they have a trade. Lila gives Ben her red car. Ben gives Lila his blue ball. + +They are happy with their trade. They sit on the grass and play with their new toys. They make noises and laugh. + +But then, the sky gets dark. It starts to rain. Lila and Ben run to the porch. They are wet and cold. + +They look at their toys. The red car is muddy. The blue ball is wet. They are not happy with their trade. + +They want their old toys back. They say to each other: + +"Can I have my car back?" + +"Can I have my ball back?" + +They agree to trade again. They give each other their old toys. They wipe them with a dry cloth. They are happy with their trade. + +They sit on the porch and play with their old toys. They make noises and laugh. + +The rain stops. The sun comes out. Lila and Ben smile. They are friends. They like to play with toys. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. They saw a big pole with a sign on it. The sign said "Welcome to the park. Please be nice and share." + +"Look, a pole!" Lily said. "Let's climb it!" + +"OK!" Ben said. They ran to the pole and tried to climb it. But it was too high and slippery. They could not reach the top. + +"Let me try!" a voice said. It was Tom, a boy from their school. He was bigger and older than Lily and Ben. He had a new bike that was expensive and shiny. + +Tom pushed Lily and Ben away from the pole. He grabbed it and started to climb. He was strong and fast. He reached the top and smiled. + +"Ha ha! I did it! I am the best!" Tom said. "This is my pole now. You can't play with it. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like Tom. He was mean and rude. They wanted to play with the pole too. It was not fair. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily said. "The sign says to share. The pole is for everyone. You can't keep it for yourself." + +"Yes, I can!" Tom said. "It's mine now. You are too small and silly to climb it. You are not welcome here. Go play with your toys." + +Lily and Ben did not have toys. They only had each other. They looked at Tom and his bike. They had an idea. + +"OK, fine. We will go," Ben said. "But can we see your bike first? It looks so expensive and cool." + +Tom was proud of his bike. He liked to show it off. He did not think Lily and Ben could do anything to it. He said yes. + +Lily and Ben went to his bike. They pretended to admire it. They touched the wheels and the seat and the handlebars. Then they did something naughty. They took the air out of the tires. They made them flat and soft. + +Tom did not see what they did. He was busy looking at the pole. He thought he was the king of the park. He did not hear the air coming out of the bike. + +Lily and Ben ran away from the bike. They smiled at each other. They had a plan. + +"Hey, Tom!" Lily shouted. "We have a deal for you. We will let you have the pole if you let us have your bike. How about that?" + +Tom laughed. He thought Lily and Ben were stupid. He agreed. + +"Sure, sure. You can have my bike. I don't care. I have the pole. It's better than your bike. It's the best thing in the park. You can't have it. It's mine." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They took the bike and ran away. They did not look back. + +Tom climbed down from the pole. He was happy. He had won. He went to his bike. He wanted to ride it. He was shocked. He saw the tires. They were flat and soft. He could not ride his bike. He was stuck. + +He looked at Lily and Ben. They were far away. They were riding his bike. They were happy. They waved at him. + +"Bye, Tom!" they shouted. "Thanks for the bike. It's so expensive and cool. You are welcome to the pole. It's so high and slippery. Have fun!" + +Tom felt sad and angry. He did not like Lily and Ben. They were smart and sneaky. They had tricked him. It was not fair. + +He cried. He wanted his bike back. He did not want the pole. It was boring and lonely. He was not the king of the park. He was the fool of the park. He wished he had been nice and shared. +Lily and Max are playing in the garden. They see a lizard on a rock. It is green and brown and has a long tail. + +"Look, a lizard!" Lily says. "Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Max says. "Maybe it will bite us." + +They go closer to the lizard. It does not move. It looks sleepy. + +"Hello, lizard," Lily says. "Are you sleepy?" + +The lizard opens one eye. It sees Lily and Max. It flicks its tongue. + +"Wow, it has a long tongue!" Max says. "What does it taste?" + +"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe it tastes bugs." + +"Yuck!" Max says. "I don't want to taste bugs." + +"Me neither," Lily says. "Let's leave the lizard alone. Maybe it wants to sleep." + +They walk away from the lizard. They find a ball and start to play. The lizard closes its eye and goes back to sleep. It dreams of tasty bugs. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the park. They see a squirrel on a tree. Sam wants to catch the squirrel. Ben says no. + +"Stay here, Sam. The squirrel is scared of you. It will run away," Ben says. + +But Sam does not listen. He runs to the tree. He tries to climb it. He falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Ben runs to Sam. He helps him up. He sees blood on his knee. He says, "Oh no, Sam. You are hurt. We need to go home." + +Sam says, "But I want the squirrel. It is so cute and brown." + +Ben says, "The squirrel is not for you, Sam. It is wild. It lives in the tree. It has a deep hole for its home. It has nuts and seeds for its food. It does not want to be with you. It wants to be free." + +Sam looks at the squirrel. It is on a high branch. It looks at Sam and Ben. It makes a noise. It sounds like, "Chirp, chirp." + +Sam says, "I'm sorry, squirrel. I did not mean to scare you. You are right, Ben. The squirrel is happy in the tree. We should leave it alone." + +Ben says, "That's good, Sam. Come on, let's go home. Mom will clean your knee. She will give you a hug and a cookie. Maybe we can see the squirrel again another day. But we will stay far away and just watch it." + +Sam and Ben hold hands. They walk to their home. They say goodbye to the squirrel. The squirrel says, "Chirp, chirp." It goes back to its deep hole. It is safe and warm. It is happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy.

They say, "Thank you, Mama!" + +Papa brings a big box. He says, "This is a special gift for you. Do you want to open it?" Lily and Ben nod their heads. They are curious. They tear the paper and see a book. It is a book about famous animals. They love animals. + +Mama says, "This book has stories and pictures of animals that did amazing things.

He tries to open the door, but it is stuck. He pulls hard, but the door does not move. + +"Help me, Sam," Tom says. He holds the door with his hand. + +Sam comes to help Tom. He pushes the door with his thumb. The door moves a little, but not enough. + +"Push harder, Sam," Tom says. He pulls harder, too. + +Sam pushes harder with his thumb. The door moves more, but then it stops. Sam feels a pain in his thumb. He looks at his thumb and sees blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cries. He lets go of the door and holds his thumb. "I hurt my thumb, Tom. It is bleeding." + +Tom looks at Sam's thumb and sees blood, too. He feels sorry for Sam. He lets go of the door and hugs Sam. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to hurt you," Tom says. "Let's go to your mom. She can help you." + +Tom and Sam go to Sam's mom. She is in the living room. She sees Sam's thumb and says, "Oh, no, what happened?" + +"Sam hurt his thumb on the box," Tom says. "We were trying to make a fort, but the door was stuck." + +Sam's mom takes Sam's thumb and cleans it with a cloth. She puts a band-aid on it and kisses it. + +"There, there, Sam. It will be OK," she says. "You are very brave." + +Sam feels better. He smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. You are very nice." + +Sam's mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, Sam. And thank you, Tom, for being a good friend and coming to me." + +Tom smiles and says, "You're welcome, too. Can we still play with the box?" + +Sam's mom thinks for a moment. She says, "Yes, you can, but only if you are careful and don't cut yourself. And you have to share the box and the scissors. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod and say, "Yes, we understand." + +Sam's mom says, "OK, then. Have fun, but be safe. And if you need me, I'm available." + +Tom and Sam say, "OK, thank you." + +They go back to the garage and play with the box. They make a fort and have fun. They are careful and don't hurt themselves. They share the box and the scissors. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They like to make waves and pretend they are sailing to different places. Tom has a blue boat and Mia has a pink boat. + +"Look, Mia, I found a port!" Tom says, pointing to a plastic cup on the edge of the tub. "I can park my boat here and get some gas." + +"Can I park my boat there too?" Mia asks. "Is there room for two boats?" + +"Sure, there is room. Come on, Mia, let's go to the port." Tom says, moving his boat towards the cup. + +But as they get closer, they see a big spider sitting on the cup. The spider has eight legs and two eyes. It looks scary and hairy. + +"Ah, a spider!" Tom screams, stopping his boat. "I don't like spiders. They are icky and creepy." + +"Me neither!" Mia agrees, backing away. "Let's go away from the port. It is not available. It is taken by the spider." + +But the spider does not want to share the cup either. It sees the boats and thinks they are invaders. It jumps from the cup and lands on Tom's boat. It pokes Tom's boat with its legs and tries to push it away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries, feeling the spider poke his boat. "The spider is hurting my boat. Help, Mia, help!" + +Mia is brave and wants to help her brother. She grabs a toy spoon and swings it at the spider. She hits the spider and makes it fall off Tom's boat. She pokes the spider with the spoon and chases it away from the tub. + +"Go away, spider, go away!" Mia shouts, poking the spider. "This is our tub, not yours. You can't have our port or our boats." + +The spider is scared and runs away. It crawls under the door and disappears. Tom and Mia are happy and relieved. They hug each other and thank each other. + +"Thank you, Mia, you saved my boat and me." Tom says, smiling. "You are a good sister and a good sailor." + +"Thank you, Tom, you found a nice port for us." Mia says, giggling. "You are a good brother and a good captain." + +They put their boats back in the water and sail away. They forget about the spider and the port. They have fun and play together. They are happy. +Sam and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the colorful blocks. They were having fun and laughing. + +But then, their big brother Tom came in. He was angry and bored. He did not like to see Sam and Lily happy. He wanted to destroy their blocks. He said, "Move away, you silly kids. These blocks are mine. I will show you what I can do with them." + +Sam and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to lose their blocks. They said, "No, Tom, please don't. We worked hard to build them. They are ours. You can play with us if you want. But don't break them." + +Tom did not listen. He pushed Sam and Lily away. He kicked and threw and smashed their blocks. He made a big mess. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, look at your blocks now. They are nothing. I am the best. You are the worst." + +Sam and Lily cried. They felt hurt and angry. They ran to their mom. She was in the kitchen. She heard the noise and saw the mess. She was shocked and mad. She said, "Tom, what have you done? You have destroyed your siblings' blocks. That was very harsh and mean. You have to apologize and help them clean up. And you have to go to your room. No TV for you today. You have to think about what you did." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He knew he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Sam and Lily. I was bored and jealous. I did not mean to hurt you. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam and Lily looked at Tom. They saw he was sincere. They said, "We forgive you, Tom. But don't do it again. We love you, but we don't like when you destroy our things. We can share and play together. That is more fun." + +Mom hugged them all. She said, "I'm proud of you, Sam and Lily, for being kind and forgiving. And I'm proud of you, Tom, for admitting your mistake and saying sorry. Now, let's clean up this mess and then have some cookies. And maybe later, we can play with the blocks again. But this time, nicely." + +They all nodded and smiled. They felt better. They learned a lesson. They went to the living room and picked up the blocks. They saw some of them were still good. They decided to make something new with them. They used their imagination and creativity. They made a castle and a dragon and a princess. They had fun and laughed. They forgot about the dark and the harsh. They were happy. +One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a fat cat sitting on a bench.

You are a very handsome cat. Do you live near the park?" + +Max nodded and pointed with his paw to a house across the street. He lived there with his owner, an old lady who fed him a lot. + +Tom's mom said, "I see. Well, we have to go now, but maybe we can see you again sometime. Bye, Max." + +Tom said, "Bye, Max. Thank you for letting me pet you. You are a good cat." + +Tom and his mom waved to Max and left the park. Max waved back and went to sleep on the bench.

They say they want more money and more time. They say they will strike. + +"What is strike?" Lily asks Tom. + +"Strike is when you stop working and say no to the boss," Tom says. + +"Why do they do that?" Lily asks. + +"Because they are not happy with what they have," Tom says. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They do not want to miss school. They like their teachers.

"What kind of magic?" + +"I don't know," Tim said. "Maybe we can find out. Let's act like we are knights and princesses, and try to break the chain." + +They ran to the slide and pulled on the chain. It was very strong and did not move. They tried to push it, but it did not budge. They tried to jump over it, but it was too high. + +They were about to give up, when they heard a voice. + +"Who goes there?" the voice said. It came from the slide. + +Tim and Mia were scared. They looked at each other, and then at the slide. + +"Who are you?" Tim asked. + +"I am the guardian of the slide," the voice said. "I protect it from intruders. This slide is ancient and has magic inside. Only those who are worthy can enter." + +"Worthy?" Mia asked. "What does that mean?" + +"It means you have to be brave and kind and honest," the voice said. "You have to answer my questions, and if you pass, you can go on the slide. If you fail, you have to leave." + +Tim and Mia nodded. They wanted to go on the slide, and they thought they were brave and kind and honest. + +"Okay," Tim said. "Ask us your questions." + +The voice asked them many questions, about their names, their friends, their families, their dreams, their fears, their likes and dislikes. Tim and Mia answered them all, as best as they could. + +The voice was silent for a moment, and then said, "You have passed. You are worthy. You can go on the slide. But be careful, the slide is ancient and has magic inside. You never know what you will find at the end." + +Tim and Mia smiled. They thanked the voice, and unhooked the chain.

They looked around, and gasped. They were not in the park anymore. They were in a different place, a place that looked like a fairy tale. There were trees and flowers and animals and castles and rainbows and stars. + +They had found the magic inside the slide. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is brown and black. He has a long tail and big ears. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom says. He wants to pet the dog. Anna is scared. She hides behind Tom. + +The dog wags his tail. He is friendly. He licks Tom's hand. Tom laughs. He pets the dog's head. + +"His name is Max," a voice says. Tom and Anna look up. They see a man.

Do you want to play with him?" the man asks. + +Tom nods. He likes Max. Anna is still scared. She shakes her head. + +The man smiles. He bends down. He talks to Anna. + +"Don't be afraid, Anna. Max won't hurt you. He is very gentle. He just wants to say hello. Do you want to touch his fur? It is very soft," the man says. + +Anna looks at the man. She looks at Max. Max looks at Anna. He wags his tail again. He makes a soft sound. + +Anna feels curious. She moves closer to Max. She reaches out her hand. She touches his fur. It is very soft. She smiles. + +Max licks her hand. He makes another sound. He is happy. + +Anna laughs. She pets Max's head. She is not scared anymore. + +The man stands up. He is happy too. + +"You are very brave, Anna. Max likes you. You are his new friend. You are welcome to play with him anytime," the man says. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They play with Max. They throw a stick. Max runs and fetches it. He brings it back. They have fun. + +They thank the man. They say goodbye to Max. They hug him. He licks their faces. + +They go home. They tell their parents about Max. They say he is a big, hairy, friendly dog. They want to see him again. They hope he will be in the park tomorrow. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But Max was stubborn. He did not want to wear his hat and sunscreen. He said they were too hot and sticky. + +"Max, you need to protect your skin from the sun," Lily said. "The sun can hurt your skin and make it red and sore. Then you will cry and not have fun." + +"I don't care," Max said. "I like the sun. It makes me warm and happy. You are silly, Lily. You look like a big mushroom with your hat and sunscreen." + +Lily was sad. She did not like when Max was mean to her. She tried to be a good friend and help him. She did not want him to get hurt. + +They played for a while longer. Then they heard their mommies calling them. It was time to go home. Lily ran to her mommy. She gave her a hug and a kiss. Her mommy smiled and said she was proud of her for protecting her skin. + +Max walked slowly to his mommy. He felt hot and tired. His skin was red and itchy. He felt a sting on his nose. He touched it and saw blood. He had a sunburn and a sun blister. He started to cry. + +His mommy saw him and frowned. She took him in her arms and said, "Oh, Max, what did you do? You did not protect your skin from the sun. You were stubborn and did not listen to Lily. Now you have a sunburn and a sun blister. They will hurt for a long time. You need to go to the doctor and get some cream." + +Max felt sorry. He wished he had worn his hat and sunscreen. He wished he had been nice to Lily. He learned his lesson. He said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was wrong. Next time, I will protect my skin from the sun.

She took a blue crayon and started to mark the paper. + +They were having fun, but they did not notice that they were also marking the book. They made many lines and dots on the pages. They did not hear their mom coming. + +Mom saw the book and was very angry. She said, "What have you done? This is not your book. This is dad's book. He needs it for his lecture. He is a teacher. He will be very sad and mad." + +Sam and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to draw. We like the book. It has many nice pictures." + +Mom said, "I know you like the book, but you cannot mark it. It is not yours. You have to be careful and respectful. You have to ask before you use something. And you have to clean the mess. Here, take these wipes and erase the marks." + +Sam and Lily took the wipes and tried to erase the marks. They worked hard and said, "We are sorry, dad. We hope you are not mad. We love you and your book." +Anna and Ben liked to play with their toy trucks in the yard. They had a big red truck and a small blue truck. They pretended to load dirt, rocks, and leaves into the trucks and drive them around. Sometimes they made noises like honk, beep, and vroom. + +One day, they saw a new truck parked outside their house. It was a white truck with a big tank on the back. It had a sign that said "Hot Cocoa Delivery". Anna and Ben wondered what was inside the tank. They wanted to try some hot cocoa. They liked hot cocoa. It was sweet and warm and made them happy. + +They ran to the truck and knocked on the door. A man opened the door and smiled at them. He was wearing a brown hat and a brown apron. He said, "Hello, kids. Do you like hot cocoa?" Anna and Ben nodded. The man said, "Well, you're in luck. I have some extra hot cocoa in my tank. Do you want some?" Anna and Ben nodded again. The man said, "OK, then. Follow me." + +The man took them to the back of the truck. He opened a valve and filled two cups with hot cocoa. He gave one cup to Anna and one cup to Ben. He said, "Here you go. Enjoy your hot cocoa. But be careful, it's hot." Anna and Ben thanked the man and took a sip of their hot cocoa. It was delicious. They smiled and drank some more. + +But then, they noticed something unusual. Their hot cocoa was not just brown. It had different colors in it. It had red, green, yellow, and blue. It looked like a rainbow. Anna and Ben looked at each other and then at the man. The man winked at them and said, "Surprise! This is not just hot cocoa. This is magic hot cocoa. It can make you see colors and feel happy. Do you like it?" Anna and Ben nodded. They liked the magic hot cocoa. They liked the man. They liked the truck. They liked the day. They finished their hot cocoa and gave the man a hug. The man said, "You're welcome, kids. Have a nice day." He got in his truck and drove away. Anna and Ben waved goodbye. They felt happy. They felt colorful. They felt magic. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a big smile. He has a shiny tooth. It is gold. + +"Wow, look at his tooth!" Lily says. "It is so shiny and pretty!" + +Tom nods. He wants a shiny tooth too. He runs to the man and says, "Hello, sir. How did you get your shiny tooth?" + +The man laughs. He says, "Hello, little boy. I got my shiny tooth from the dentist. He put it in my mouth. It is expensive. It cost a lot of money." + +Tom is surprised. He says, "Why did you pay a lot of money for a shiny tooth? You can get a shiny tooth for free. Just brush your teeth every day and they will shine." + +The man smiles. He says, "You are very smart, little boy. You are right. Brushing your teeth is good for you. But I like my shiny tooth. It makes me happy." + +Lily and Tom shrug. They do not understand why the man likes his expensive shiny tooth. They think it is silly. They say goodbye to the man and go back to play. They have fun with their own teeth. They are not shiny, but they are clean and healthy. +Jill liked to look for bugs in the garden. She thought they were beautiful and wanted to learn more about them. One day, she found a big black beetle with shiny spots on its back. She was very happy and picked it up gently. + +"Look, Mommy, look what I found!" she said, running to her mother, who was sitting on the porch. "It's a beetle, a beautiful beetle!" + +Her mother smiled and encouraged her. "That's wonderful, Jill. You have a good eye for bugs. Do you know what kind of beetle it is?" + +Jill shook her head. "No, Mommy, I don't. Can you tell me?" + +Her mother took a closer look at the beetle and frowned. "Oh, Jill, I'm sorry, but this is not a good beetle. This is a bad beetle. It's called a blister beetle, and it can hurt you if you touch it. It has a poison in its body that can make your skin burn and blister. You have to put it down right now and wash your hands." + +Jill was scared and confused. She didn't want to hurt the beetle, but she didn't want to get hurt either. She opened her hand and let the beetle fall to the ground. But it was too late. She felt a sharp pain in her palm and saw a red mark forming. She started to cry. + +"Mommy, Mommy, it hurts, it hurts!" she sobbed. + +Her mother hugged her and took her inside. She washed her hand with soap and water and put some cream on it. She told her not to worry, that it would heal soon, and that she was brave and strong. + +Jill felt a little better, but she was still sad and angry. She didn't understand why the beetle was bad, why it hurt her, why it wasn't beautiful. She learned a hard lesson that day: not everything that looks beautiful is good, and not everything that looks bad is evil. She also learned to be more careful and curious about the things she found in the garden, and to ask her mother before touching them. +Tom loves trains. He has many toy trains that he plays with every day. He likes to make them go fast and slow, and to make them stop and start. He also likes to watch real trains when they pass by his house.

He feels happy and proud too. He thinks he can succeed in anything he wants to do. He is ready for more adventures. He loves trains. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They wanted to see lions and elephants and zebras. They packed their hats and sunglasses and binoculars. + +When they got to the safari park, they saw a big bus. The bus had many windows and a roof. The driver said, "Hello, kids. Welcome to the safari. I will take you around and show you the animals. But you have to follow some rules. You have to stay inside the bus. You have to be quiet. And you have to listen to me. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They were good kids. They climbed on the bus and sat on their seats. They looked out the windows and waited for the animals. + +Soon, they saw a giraffe. It was very tall and had a long neck. It was eating leaves from a tree. Lily and Tom were amazed. They wanted to touch the giraffe. They asked their mom, "Mom, can we go out and pet the giraffe?" + +Mom shook her head. She said, "No, sweeties. You have to stay inside the bus. The giraffe might be scared or angry. It might kick you or bite you. It is not safe." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to be friends with the giraffe. They looked at the driver. He was smiling. He said, "Don't worry, kids. There are more animals to see. Look, there is a lion. It is the king of the jungle. It has a big mane and sharp teeth. It is very strong and brave." + +Lily and Tom saw the lion. It was lying on a rock. It was yawning and stretching. It looked bored. Lily and Tom were not impressed. They wanted to see the lion roar and run and hunt. They asked their dad, "Dad, can we go out and play with the lion?" + +Dad shook his head. He said, "No, sweeties. You have to stay inside the bus. The lion might be hungry or angry. It might chase you or bite you. It is not safe." + +Lily and Tom were mad. They wanted to have fun with the lion. They looked at the driver. He was laughing. He said, "Don't worry, kids. There are more animals to see. Look, there is a zebra. It is black and white and striped. It is very pretty and fast. It can run away from the lion." + +Lily and Tom saw the zebra. It was grazing on the grass. It was peaceful and calm. It looked nice. Lily and Tom liked the zebra. They wanted to ride the zebra. They asked the driver, "Driver, can we go out and ride the zebra?" + +The driver shook his head. He said, "No, kids. You have to stay inside the bus. The zebra might be shy or angry. It might kick you or run away. It is not safe." + +Lily and Tom were frustrated. They wanted to do something with the zebra. They looked at each other. They had an idea. They said, "Driver, can we request something?" + +The driver nodded. He said, "Sure, kids. What do you want to request?" + +Lily and Tom said, "We want to request a new driver. You are stupid. You don't let us do anything. You ruin our safari. We want a driver who is fun and nice and lets us do what we want." + +The driver was shocked. He said, "What? That is a very rude and silly request. You can't request a new driver. I am the only driver here. And I am not stupid. I am smart and careful and I follow the rules. The rules are for your safety and for the animals' safety. You have to respect the rules and the driver. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom did not understand. They did not like the rules or the driver. They crossed their arms and pouted. They said, "No, we don't understand. We don't like you. We want a new driver. We want a new safari. We want to go home." + +The driver sighed. He said, "Well, too bad. You can't have a new driver or a new safari. You have to finish this safari. And you have to behave. Or else, I will tell your mom and dad. And they will be very angry and disappointed. Do you want that?" + +Lily and Tom did not want that. They did not want their mom and dad to be angry and disappointed. They wanted their mom and dad to be happy and proud. They looked at their mom and dad. They saw their mom and dad were smiling and enjoying the safari. They saw their mom and dad were taking pictures and
